How is the caste system an instrument of stratification |
| Answer» Let me tell you it\'s a good question. So, here is the required answer:- we know that the society is divided or stratified in different strata or division. These division is based on different criteria. Our society has been divided on the basis of mainly these criteria:- gender, education level, caste and creed, number of members in a family, religion etcetera etcetera... Caste system in ancient times taught people to be apart from untouchable or harijan. This created stratification of society on the basis of caste. However, in modern times, it is still prevalent at some points. But, the caste thing is still present in our society. For example:- the reservation system gives SCs and STs a opportunity in jobs but those who are not in this category feel alienated and kind of division is made between them. Thus, these facts were two sides of the same coin called "society". Caste do cause stratification in society and as people are becoming literate, there is a high possibility that one day this caste based stratification will end. | |

Growth of sociology in india |
| Answer» The growth of sociology in India\tDuring the course of their rule in India, the British officials realised that for smooth administration, it was important that they acquire knowledge of Indian society and culture. This prompted the origin of Sociology in India.\tWestern sociological writings about Indian society were sometimes misleading. For instance, the understanding and portrayal of the Indian village was unchanging. Many Indian scholars thus, took to sociological studies to close such gaps.\tThe diversified nature of the Indian society in terms of region, language, religion, ethnicity, caste, etc also led to the growth of sociology in India in connection with the discipline of social anthropology. This is a characteristic feature different from that of the western countries where both disciplines have been kept distinct from each other.\tIndian sociologist realised that the transformation process of contemporary Indian society is different from that of the western society. Modernity as understood in the western European society is the outcome of scientific process and democratic ideas. Wheres as the same process of modernity was introduced in Indian society under the colonial regime. | |

Explain the main characteristics of human society |
| Answer» 1. Definite Territory : (a) A society is a territorial group. Some nomadic societies move about within a much larger territory than they occupy at any one time, but they regard the whole range as "their" country.(b) There are of course, territorial groups within societies, for instance, claus, neighbourhoods, political outfits, cities, countries, etc.2. Progency : (a) Members form every society. They are recruited in different ways also. But in a large number, the members of a society come by means of human reproduction within the group of people.(b) Several societies also obtain members by adoption, enslavement, conquest or immigration. But reproduction within the group itself remains a fundamental source of new members, in fact progency is the most important trait of society.3. Culture : (a) A Society has a \'Comprehensive\' culture in the sense that it is culturally self-sufficeint. For instance, a society can carry on trade with other societies, but the cultural patterns involved in the trade are a part of the culture of the society itself.The means of payment and the forms of contracts are cultrually patterned.(b) A comprehensive culture can have sub-cultures as well. For example we cantake the case of our own country. The Indian people have a comprehensive culture which gives them an identity. We have a common culture, a family system, a set of religious communities, linguistic entities, vilage communities, and above all history of shared pains and pleasures. The sub-cultures are, for instance, Rajasthan culture, Punjabi culture, Assami culture, etc.(c) Bear in mind each sub-culture is characterised by its respective characteristics. For good mutual relations and harmony we should not try to disturb any sub-culture.4. Independence : The fourth and last trait of society is independence. It refers that a further characteristic of a society is that it is a sub-group of any other. We may define "Society" as such as permanent self contained and an integrated group. | |

Why should We study the beginning and growth of sociology in Europe |
| Answer» The study of the origin and growth of sociology is important due to following reasons:\xa0(i) Auguste comte (of France) is called the father of sociology because he coined the sociology 1830, for that branch of science which studied human behaviour. Before his life time and during his life time most of the issue and concern of this discipline also date back to a time when European societies was undergoing greatly changes in that period (approximately 18 and 19th century) with the advant of industrialisation and capitalism.(ii) Without the study of origin and growth of sociology we can not understand several personnel as well as social issue. For example. In 18th and 19th century due to industrialisation several problem raise before people and government. Urbanisation or factory production are concerned to all modern society. No doubt these specific feature different. For example the problem of Urbanisation and factory production of India nay be different from advance western or European country. Indian society visit colonial parts and various diversities is different from the social setup of Britain or France. The people of India can know their problems or issues after the study of sociology because sociology of India reflects origin and growth of different individual or social problems.(iii) Indians are closely linked to the history of British capitalism and colonalism. Capitalism is the west centailed a worldwide expansion. No doubt colonialism was essential part of modern capitaism and industrialisation. The writings of western sociologist on capitalism and other aspects of modern society are therefore relevent for urderstanding social change in India.(iv) Sociology in India also had to deal with western writings and ideas about Indian society that were not always correct. These ideas were expressed both in the accounts of colonial officials as well as western scholars. For many of them Indian society was xontsant to western society. We take just one example here, the way the Indian village was understood and portrayed as unchanging.(v) Further more social anthropology in India moved gradually from a preoccupation with the study of \'primitive people\' to the study of peasants, ethinic groups. Social clases, aspects and features of ancient civilisations, and modern industrial societies. No rigid divide exists between sociology and social anthropology in India, a characteristics feature of the two subjects in many western countries. Perhaphs the very diversity of the modern and traditional, of the village and the metropolitan in India account for this | |
