This is roughly categorized into types or levels. There may be particular variations within these categories.

Horticultural society

These include Neolithic, simple horticultural, and pastoral societies.

Agrarian society

This is associated with civilization, or cities. It is roughly divided into bronze age, early iron age, late iron age, and modern agrarian.

Industrial society

This includes early industrial, middle industrial, and late industrial categories.


This will be connected to science including physics, chemistry, and astronomy. Earth science including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospheric science, physical geography, and geohistory can be connected. Biology including molecular biology, cell biology, organism biology, systematics, ecology, and biohistory can be connected. Personal studies including human body, psychology, and particular individuals are loosely connected to types of societies. Anthropology including social foundations, and demography will be highly significant in these studies. Physical anthropology including human origins, racial variation, and human dispersion will be important. Human ecology including the effects of the environment on people, relations with other life, and effects of people on the environment will be highly important. Human geography including European geography, Asian geography, African geography, North American geography, South American geography, and Oceanic geography will be useful. Particular groups may be useful.	Links to other sites: Wikipedia - Society
Culture Material culture including foodstuffs, clothing, buildings, transportation technology, communication technology, industrial technology, and other artifacts affects social types profoundly. Conceptual culture including language, graphic arts, literature, mathematics, applied science, and philosophy is important. Behavioral culture including customs, occupations, recreation and entertainment, and cultural events is important in the study of social types. Cultural events such as miscellaneous events, disasters, gatherings, and holidays will be vital in considering these societies. Institutions Families including marriage, parenting, kinship, and particular families are important in social types. Education including research, teaching, cultural instututions, educational organization, and particular schools will be useful. Economics and subsistence patterns, including economic activities, industries, and economic systems is also a vital part of social types. Government including law, government structure and government activity is vital in examination of social types. Particular governments including local, national, and international governments can be considered. The connection of social types to religion, which includes religious beliefs, practice, and organization is also significant. Particular traditions including Asiatic religion, secularism, and pagan religion will be useful. Abrahamic religion including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism may be connected. Other Sociology This will depend heavily on social structure including angthopological structure, cultural structure, institutional structure, class structure, and community and regional structure. Changes in social types are considered in social changes and include factors, processes, and particular changes, such as the agricultural revolution, and agrarian revolution. The industrial revolution including the early industrial revolution, middle industrial revolution, and computerization can be connected. This will use communities to provide examples. Cairo Peoples of the world also provide examples. Various nations are considered under the peoples they principally belong to as far as Germany, Egypt, Ethiopia, Turkey, Iran, Thailand, France. Western civilization can for now be examined by considering nations such as Mexico. Cities include Mexico City and Los Angeles. This will eventually include Anglic peoples such as those found in the United States. Cities include New York City. It will also include Latin peoples such as those of Brazil, Northeast European peoples such as those of Russia, Germanic peoples, Scandinavian peoples, and Balkan peoples.

History Social types began to develop in prehistory In early prehistory, only hunting and gathering types were known. In middle prehistory, most societies were hunting and gathering types, but the beginnings of horticultural societies can be seen. In Late prehistory, horticultural societies began to develop. During antiquity, there was a shift of societies from hunting and gathering to horticultural and from horticultural to agrarian. This process began in the 5th millennium BC, the 4th Millennium BC, the 3rd millennium BC, the 2nd Millennium BC, and the early first millennium BC. Through classical and medieval times, the types of societies shifted from horticultural societies toward agrarian societies, through early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times. These can be more easily examined using modern history, including the 16th century. The early 16th century, early mid 16th century, mid 16th century, late mid 16th century, and late 16th century can be connected. The 17th century including the early 17th century, early mid 17th century, mid 17th century, late mid 17th century, and late 17th century can be connected. The 18th century including the early 18th century, early mid 18th century, mid 18th century, late mid 18th century, and late 18th century can be considered. In the 19th century, there was a shift from agrarian toward industrial society. Details of the early 19th century, early-mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late-mid 19th century, and late 19th century are yet to be examined. Examination of particular types in the 20th century is somewhat difficult. The early 20th century and the early-mid 20th century can be connected. The mid 20th century including the early 1940s, late 1940s, early 1950s, and late 1950s can be connected. The late-mid 20th century including the early 1960s, late 1960s, early 1970s, and late 1970s has some information. More recent events of the late 20th century including the early 1980s, late 1980s, and early 1990s can perhaps be examined. The late 1990s including 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 can be considered. The early 21st century can also be examined. The early 2000s including 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 can be considered. Current events of the late 2000s are being examined. 2006 including the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter is being examined. 2007 including the first quarter with January, February, and March, and second quarter with April, May, and June can perhaps be followed. Events of the third quarter including July, August, and September can be considered. Events of the fourth quarter including October, November, and December are being examined. 2008 including the first quarter with events of January, February, and March, the second quarter with events of April, May, and June, and the third quarter with July, August, and September can be connected. The fourth quarter including October and November can be connected. The future including the near future down to the next month, including November 2008 and December 2008, next quarter, and next year can possibly be examined. The middle future and far future are less easily examined.
