Social movements include particular changes. Major categories include agricultural revolution, agricultural urbanization, and industrial revolution, though within these major developments, multiple others can be identified. |

It may be possible to add an additional process, called humanization, which would include the origin of particularly human skills such as language and toolmaking. However, the details of this process are so speculative and controversial that it will not be included at present.
This includes the processes of sedentism (settling in one particular area year round), and domestication of plants and animals. This latter could lead to nomadic cultures.
This includes development of irrigated or tilled agriculture, large scale buildings, wheeled vehicles, written communication, metallurgy, and large scale social structures. I have identified four stages, a Bronze age, Early Iron age, later Iron age, and Modernization.
This includes the development of heat engines and technology based on them, including coal, petroleum, and gas technology. It also includes more specific movements in part prompted by these technologies. I have so far identified three stages: The early industrial revolution, the middle industrial revolution, and computerization.

This will be connected to science including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth science, and biology. Personal studies can often be connected to these processes. The human body is not as significant as psychology and biography. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, and human ecology may be useful. Human geography including European geography, Asian geography, African geography, North American geography, South American geography, and Oceanic geography can be connected. Particular groups are important in the study of particular changes. |

CultureMaterial culture including industrial technology, buildings, foodstuffs, clothing, transpoartionan technology, communication technlogy, and other artifacts is very closely associated with these different stages. Conceptual culture including language, graphic arts, literature, mathematics, applied science, and philosophy is highly influential in helping drive these social changes. Behavioral culture including customs, occupations, recreation, and entertainment is important in examining these changes. InstitutionsFamilies including marriage, parenting, kinship, and cultural change can be connected. Education including learning, teaching, cultural institutions, educational organization, and particular schools will be vital in the study of cultural change. Economics including activities, industries, and economic systems is also important. Changes in government include law, government practice, government organization, and particular governments. Changes in religion including beliefs, practice and organization are important. Particular traditions including Abrahamic religion, Asiatic religion, secularism, and pagan religion will be useful. Other sociologyParticular changes depend heavily on social structure including anthropological structure, cultural structure, institutional structure, class structure, and community and regional structure. They involve changes in social types such as hunting and gathering, horticultural, agricultural, and industrial societies. These depend on factors of social change such as natural change, demographic change, cultural change, and institutional change. Processes of change including invention, transmission, adaptation, and extinction are all connected. Communities such as New York City will provide examples. and peoples of the world will also provide examples to be studied. African peoples will provide some examples. Particular nations will be examined, including Nigeria, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam, Germany, Egypt, Ethiopia, Turkey, Iran, Thailand, France. Western civilization including Russia provides various examples. Mexico City has some. Anglic peoples including those of the United States provide examples. Latin peoples including those of Brazil can be connected. These will be organized according to Asiatic peoples including those of Bangladesh and particular cities of Tokyo, Seoul; South Asian peoples including those of India and Pakistan, Central Asian peoples including some of those of China and Oriental peoples found in China. Southeast Asian peoples such as those found in Indonesia are also important. American Indian peoples such as may be found in parts of the United States and Brazil and in cities such asMexico City also provide examples. History is full of social movements. A few can be traced to prehistory. The agricultural revolution can be considered. They are considered here to have begun with a base in early prehistory, changes related to the agricultural revolution begain in mid prehistory and continued through late prehistory. During antiquity, the agricultural revolution continued, and the agrarian revolution may have begun. These can be followed during the 5th Millennium BC, and the agricultural rvolution may have had independent origins in multiple centers. Also possibly in the 4th millennium, the agrarian revolution began, shortly followed by written history, which is one indicator of it. It continued in the 3rd millennium BC, as more and more peoples began to adopt civilization, and it continued in the 2rd millennium BC. By the early 1st millennium BC, there was a more or less continuous belt of civilization across the old world from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and signs of it in the Americas as well. In classical and medieval times, the agrarian revolution spread slowly. Through early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times, more and more peoples adopted agrarian-type civilization and its products and culture. Modern history. In the 16th century, I do not yet have many details for the early 16th century, early mid 16th century, mid 16th century, late-mid 16th century, or late 16th century. I do not yet have many details for the 17th century including the early 17th century, early mid 17th century, mid 17th century, late-mid 17th century, or late 17th century. In the 18th century, Agrarian society progressed. In the early 18th century, early-mid 18th century, mid 18th century it continued. The Industrial revolution is considered to have begun in the late-mid 18th century and late 18th century. In the 19th century, agrarian society progressed and prompted the industrial revolution. This can be followed through the early 19th century, the early-mid 19th century, the mid 19th century, the late-mid 19th century, and the late 19th century. In the 20th century, the industrial revolution proceeded, and prompted yet more social changes and movements. These have progressed through the early 20th century, early mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late mid 20th century including the early 1960s, late 1960s, and early 1970s, late 20th century, including the early 1980s, late 1980s, early 1990s, and late 1990s down to 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. There has been more progression in the early 21st century, though most changes have been associated with continguing agrarian and industrial revolutions. The early 2000s including 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 can be conncted. The late 2000s are also important.Some current changes can be followed in 2006. More detail can be found in 2007, including the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter. The fourth quarter including October, November, and December can be examined. 2008 including the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter is also useful. It is possible to project these into the future, to a very limited extent. |
