What are the types of society?

Anthropologists tend to classify different societies according to the degree to which different groups within a society have unequal access to advantages such as resources, prestige or power. (Useful definitions.) Virtually all societies have developed some degree of inequality among their people through the process of social stratification-the division of members of a society into strata (or levels) with unequal wealth, prestige or power. Differences lie in how societies treat the inequalities. Some may downplay them so they become transparent and insignificant (egalitarian societies) while others will accent inequalities (ranked and class-based societies). Three different types of societies can generally recognized: egalitarian societies, ranked societies and class-based societies.\n\nEgalitarian societal members tend to treat each other as equals. Wealth differences are few as is the amount of power available to any individual or group. The people possess norms that emphasize sharing and ideals of interpersonal equality. This is not to say that stratification is non-existent in these societies. In comparison with nonegalitarian societies, however, stratification is relatively insignificant. Even when someone like a bigman is present, prestige is important and linked to redistribution. However, the bigman gives more than he receives as his role as a redistributor is defined. If he hordes or possesses too much, he will lose the recognition as a bigman. In effect, he is a member of society as an equal who has a defined role that carries prestige but not wealth and recognition but not status. (See reading on egalitarian hierarchies.)\n\nIn ranked societies people are divided into hierarchically ordered groups that differ in terms of prestige, but not significantly in terms of access to resources or power. Within this context it is possible to identify persons we can label as chiefs whose inherited position and prestige is often linked to the redistribution of goods.\n\nIn class-based societies people are divided into hierarchically ordered groups that differ in terms of access not only to prestige, but also to resources and power. Western capitalist societies have distinct classes (e.g. upper class, middle class, poor), but mobility amongst the classes sometimes occurs through activities such as education, marriage or hard work. For similar reasons to those mentioned above, it is not appropriate to describe the Net as a class-based society.\n\nEconomics\nCultures can be characterized, in part, by the type of economic systems that they support. Three forms of economic exchange systems are typically recognized by anthropologists: reciprocity, redistribution and market exchange.\n\nReciprocity is the simplest form of economic exchange. It involves giving a product or service to another person in the expectation of receiving something of similar value in return. Reciprocal transactions are economic exchanges, but they are also personalized; they take place between people who have a bond, and they serve to strengthen these ties.\n\nIn a redistributive economy goods or labor are accumulated by a specific person, or at a particular place, and are subsequently redistributed back throughout the society. Such economies are found in all societies, to some extent, but they are "an important mechanism only in societies that have political hierarchies-that is, chiefs and other specialized officials and agencies" (Ember and Ember, 1990, p. 129).\n\nMarket exchange economies are associated with capitalist societies. In such economies producers send or take their goods to a marketplace where they are bid for by purchasers. The main feature of market exchanges is that goods and services are bought and sold at money prices determined by the impersonal forces of supply and demand.\n\nThere is one aspect of human economic systems that we should recognize. There are societies where it is more important to give everything away rather than a

Social: class-ridden & female disenfranchisement\n\nPolitical: surging nationalism chafing at multi-ethnic empires; democracy in countries like UK, France & Italy but little or none in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire or Russia.\n\nEconomical: mercantilism dying away, free trade growing, Germany becoming so rich & confident that the established balance of power in Europe was out the window.\n\nGeographical: Far fewer countries in Europe than exist today, mainly because of the empires with lots of territory in Europe (Austro-Hungarian, Russian, Ottoman and German).

Like the U.S the romans had a multicultural society. Before the empire during the Republic, the Romans had a somewhat representative society.

Social sciences includes psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc. These areas tend to have a scientific aspect to them. Humanities includes languages, philosophy, the arts, the classics and religion.  History can be included in this area.  The Humanities tend to be more qualitative than the social sciences.

One of the social sciences would be your best choice, either Anthropology or Sociology, with a preference for Anthro. One of the four main sub-divisions of Anthro is Linguistics, just what you are looking for.

The basic unit of any society is a husband and wife.  \n\nThey contribute children, which continues our culture into the next generation.  Any society that isn't predicated on the principle of 'women and children first' is doomed to extinction.

Well, it seems the answers come logically if we ask this question:\nFor society to run smoothly, what are some basic requirements?\n\nRules might come under the following categories:\n- laws which preserve and guarangtee basic civil and human rights (the points of the FIRST AMENDMENT): freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion, and petition\n\n- laws establishing structures giving legal rights and ownership\n- laws dictating collection of revenue or taxes for the state\n-  laws regarding traveling and travelers in the land\n- laws regulating trade and commerce or affecting the price of goods\n- laws regarding military service\n- laws regarding criminal actions, and dictating process of criminal proceedings, as well as limiting and defining punishments given to people\n-laws governing inheritance\n-laws against hazards to the public safety or against agents that might lead to disease outbreaks\n\nHope these are a few ideas to get you started.

The natives didn't necessarily have social classes.  There was a division of labor, and people did what they were good at or born to do, but everyone contributed to the society.  There were priests or shamans or medicine men, a number of chiefs-war chiefs as one example, warriors, hunters, and the women.  No one was really higher than anyone else.
