Post industrialization

A slide show on Postindustrialization.

1. And the
upheaval,
instability,
and
redefining
that comes
with it !?!?!?!

2. People living within defined
territorial borders and
sharing a common culture.

3. Anthropologists classify
societies based on how they
meet the basic needs of its
members.

11. Educational Basis:

National Loyalty

15. Educational Basis:

20. Relative stability with more permanent or at least long term settlements
Family became more basic to social life
Societies became more male dominated
Creation of a complex division of labor
Pottery, tools, clothing
Political and religious leaders
Trade with other peoples
Mild social stratification

21. Being able to do the things
necessary to preserve long term
settlement was more important
than knowing where gather and
being able to migrate to good
hunting grounds.

23. Larger more permanent settlements, and cities developed
The establishment of written language and written records
The transition from settlements and communities to the emergence
of societies, civilizations, and empires
Highly define class systems
Stronger Central Government
More specialized roles and occupations
Trade and the creation of monetary and banking systems

24. Being able to manage and
maximize the use of both
animals and land in a most
efficient manner was more
important than just sustaining
the family

25. Farming was mainly done by lower
peasant labor. This freed other
members of society to pursue other
occupations and interests such
as………….

26. Scholars

27. Religious Leaders
(Scholars and Philosophers)

28. Military Warriors

29. Skilled Tradesmen and Artisans

30. Political Leaders

32. Mechanization
Science and technology used to produce goods and services
Change away from simple, traditional technology towards the
application of scientific knowledge to create more complex technological
devices.
With mechanization, farmers were able to produce a surplus of food.
Urbanization
Food surpluses enabled people to move away from farms and villages
to larger cities.

33. Formal schooling with the intent of
creating a broadly educated and
trained labor force became the norm.
Functionally literacy became more of
a necessity as well as one’s ability to
comply with the demands of factory
hierarchy.

35. Agricultural – Warfare and violence for the purpose of establishing
nations and empires
Industrial – Child labor in order to maximize profit and minimize labor
costs

36. Why are factories shutting down?
Where are factories relocating?
Why can’t I get a high paying job with or even
without a high school education like my grandpa
could?
Why are there not as many jobs that require
heavy labor and manufacturing?

38. Hunting and Gathering – 2 million to 10,000 years ago
Horticultural – 12,000 to 10,000 years ago
Pastoral – 12,000 to 10,000 years ago
Agricultural – Began approximately 8,000 years ago
Industrial – Began approximately 240 years ago

41. Service sector jobs have increased while labor/industrial
jobs have decreased.

42. With this comes a
new form of ………….

43. Instability

44. Global competition
Declining Wages
Need for more specialized training for
workforce
Decrease industrial/labor jobs that traditionally
paid well

45. Rise in crime and social disorder
Decline of kinship as a social institution
Marriages and births declined
Trust and confidence in institutions went into a forty
year decline.

47. 1. For the first time, the majority of
the labor force are employed in
services rather than agriculture or
manufacturing.

48. 2. White-collar employment replaces
much blue-collar work

49. Blue collar – Secondary sector
occupations where manufacturing
goods is the primary focus
White collar – Tertiary sector
occupations where providing
services is the primary focus

50. 3. Technical knowledge is the key
organizing feature

51. 4. Technological change is planned
and assessed

52. 5. Reliance on computer modeling in
all areas

53. The definition of literacy has completely changed. Being
able to read and write was once the definition of literacy.
Now it is the foundation to literacy. Literacy today entails
much more than just being able to functionally read and
write. It involves being able to use present and
developing technologies in a manner that adds to the
productivity of the postindustrial workforce

55. #1 Priority – Education
Literacy is no longer just being able to read and write; it is
also being able to think independently and outside of the
box. Included with these is technology literacy, where one
is literate with computer technology. Elementary and
secondary schools need to upgrade facilities to
adequately meet student needs in terms of becoming
literate in a Postindustrial society.

56. Most importantly:
It is up to each and every one of us to always improve our
mastery of Postindustrial literacy. This is our “assembly
line” and “factory work.”

57. “According to Francis Fukuyama, the
social instability is now lessening.”
(Sociology and You, P.163)

58. As Postindustrial literacy improves, instability will
decrease as it did with other societies.

59. It’s up to all of
us, let’s meet
the challenge!
