“Society does not stay the same. This chapter explores social change, explain- ing how modern societies differ from earlier, traditional societies. The chapter discusses many causes of change, including collective behavior, disasters, and social movements“(pg.488)

I choose this news because it’s a clear example of a contemporary example of social change. This movement are occurring in Mexico City where the women’s are protesting for his rights.

I chose this image because In crowds, mathematics governs walking, a large numbers of pedestrians moving in opposite directions down crowded streets and passageways, or across busy zebra crossings, spontaneously adopt a walking mode named by one famous mathematician in honour of another.

Before the Industrial Revolution, Europe and North America formed a mosaic of rural villages and small towns.”(pg.501)

I choose this video because explain the main concept of the structural functional perspective of the modernity as a mass society. Also show many examples of the modernity as a mass society for example labor and industry

While agreeing that modern societies have expanded to a mass scale, this ap- proach views the heart of modernization as an expanding capitalist economy, marked by inequality.”(pg.503)

The image show class society, which was a product of modernity, is an invention of the modern spirit. It is therefore not a natural condition of the human being, but a consequence of the division of labour.

But from these macro-level approaches, we can also draw micro-level insights into how modernity shapes individual lives.”(pg.504)

I choose this book because talks about the rapid industrialization, urbanization, and marketization have led to startling social changes in reform-era China. Mindful of the many forms of social theory that relate modernity to individualism, this volume addresses social and cultural change through the lens of sociological anthropology.

“postmodernity to refer to the transformations caused by the Infor- mation Revolution and the postindustrial economy.“(pg.508-508)


Community is a fantastic example of postmodernity within television shows. As the Idea Channel on YouTube has suggested, Community may even be a “Postmodern Masterpiece.” This show is littered with self-referential jokes, pastiches of countless film genres, and discussion of postmodern ideas within the episodes.

From this point of view, the solution to global poverty is to promote techno- logical development and market economies around the world.”(pg.509)


Because it provided the dominant framework for "development" of poor, postcolonial countries, modernization theory ranks among the most important constructs of twentieth-century social science. In Mandarins of the Future: Modernization Theory in Cold War America Nils Gilman offers the first intellectual history of a movement that has had far-reaching and often unintended consequences.
