Type of Society Key Characteristics


Hunting and Gathering These are small, simple societies in which
people hunt and gather food. Because all
people in these societies have few
possessions, the societies are fairly
egalitarian, and the degree of inequality is
very low.
Horticultural and Pastoral Horticultural and pastoral societies are
larger than hunting-and-gathering
societies. Horticultural societies grow
crops with simple tools, while pastoral
societies raise livestock. Both types of
societies are wealthier than hunting-and-
gathering societies, and they also have
more inequality and greater conflict than
hunting-and-gathering societies.
Agricultural These societies grow great numbers of
crops, thanks to the use of plows, oxen,
and other devices. Compared to
horticultural and pastoral societies, they
are wealthier and have a higher degree of
conflict and of inequality.
Industrial Industrial societies feature factories and
machines. They are wealthier than
agricultural societies and have a greater
sense of individualism and a somewhat
lower degree of inequality that still
remains substantial.
Postindustial These societies feature information
technology and service jobs. Higher
education is especially important in these
societies for economic success
