Sociocultural evolution/김윤(KIM YOON)

Summary

Sociocultural evolution is theory of cultural and social evolution that describes how cultures and societies change over time. It is the process by which structural reorganization is affected through time, eventually producing a form or structure which is qualitatively different from the ancestral form. More recent approaches focus on change specific to individual societies and reject the idea that cultures differ primarily according to how far each one has moved along some presumed linear scale of social progress. Many famous theorists, Comte, Spencer, Morgan and so on, claimed about sociocultural evolution, or cultural evolution. Modern theorists are careful to avoid unsourced, ethnocentric speculation or value judgments. These conditions provided the context for new theories such as cultural relativism and multilineal evolution. Neoevolutionism was the first in a series of modern multilineal evolution theories. It basis its theories on empirical evidence from areas of archaeology, paleontology, and historiography and tries to eliminate any references to systems of values, be it moral or cultural, instead trying to remain objective and simply descriptive.

Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.
