Common Types
of Social Interaction

(continued)

 Cooperation – two or more people or groups working
together to achieve a goal that will benefit more than
one of them
 Accommodation – a state of balance between
cooperation and conflict

7

HOLT, RINEHART AND WINSTON

Section 3: Types of Societies

Types of Societies
 Preindustrial – food production is the main economic
activity and can be subdivided according to the level
of technology and the method of producing food
 Industrial – emphasis shifts from the production of
food to the production of manufactured goods made
possible by changes in production methods
 Postindustrial – much of the economy is involved in
providing information and services
10

who belongs and who does not
 Set goals, assign tasks, and make decisions
 Control their members’ behavior – if members violate
groups norms, the group cannot survive long

Types of Societies
 Preindustrial – food production is the main economic
activity and can be subdivided according to the level
of technology and the method of producing food
 Industrial – emphasis shifts from the production of
food to the production of manufactured goods made
possible by changes in production methods
 Postindustrial – much of the economy is involved in
providing information and services
