FORMS OF

Society
Society arises from people seeking connection and common goals, shaping
individual identity through interaction.

2 MYA - 10,000 BCE

HUNTING AND GATHERING
Hunting-gathering societies, the earliest
form of social organization, are small, family-
based groups. They rely on hunting, fishing,
and gathering for survival, constantly moving
to find food. Decision-making is based on
consensus, leading to fluid roles and no clear
division of labor within the community.

10,000 - 8,000 BCE

PASTORAL SOCIETY
Pastoral societies depend on domesticated
animals for food and transportation, allowing
for larger settled populations compared to
hunter-gatherers. This shift leads to surplus
food production and the emergence of
specialized tasks within the community,
facilitating trade with other societies.

10,000 - 6,000 BCE

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
In horticultural societies, people cultivate fruits,
vegetables, and plants using basic tools like
digging sticks or hoes. They engage in small-
scale farming and often domesticate animals.
They're semi-nomadic, with clearly defined
gender-based roles, and often produce
surpluses for trade and economic growth.

6,000 BCE
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
Agricultural societies, fueled by technology,
transformed food production and society. The
‘Agricultural Revolution’ boosted food supplies,
population, and trade centers. Evolving farming
methods and animal domestication led to complex
social systems and territorial importance. These
changes shaped human civilization profoundly.

9TH - 15TH CENTURY

FEUDAL SOCIETY
Feudal society, emerging in Medieval Western
Europe, centered on land ownership. Rulers
granted followers the right to manage land
parcels, shaping a hierarchical system where
members were organized by status. This
structure defined power dynamics, obligations,
and wealth distribution within the society.

INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
The industrial society, driven by machinery
and factories, replaced agrarian life with
mass production. Science and technology
advances boosted trade, while capitalist
influence drove economic growth. The
‘Industrial Revolution’ introduced new
methods, reshaping society and laying the
foundation for today's industrialized world.

18TH CENTURY
- PRESENT
POST-INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
The post-industrial society emphasizes
knowledge, information, and service-based
economies. With higher educational levels and
specialized skills, individuals navigate a world
transformed by communication technology
and the internet. Known as the ‘Virtual
Society,’ this digital landscape redefines
social organization, enabling connectivity and
collaboration across boundaries.
