Social Change in the Modern Era
Weber's analysis of legal rationalization
Max Weber's identification of increased rationalization as a master process of change included extensive discussion of legal systems. A cross-classification of rational/irrational and formal/substantive rationality makes some valid analytical distinctions, but neglects a source of legitimate authority for a formally-rational legal system and thus a determination of the goals and values toward which rules are oriented. It also neglects "instrument…

general that it could fit any book on any subject from linguistics to polymer chemistry. Being more definite, however, the subtitle is more open to criticism. For in a broad sense every statement about quality is comparative: if we say that somebody is thin, we imply a comparison with people who are fat or medium. Any kind of measurement also entails a comparison with the yardstick, while every instance of counting (not to speak of search for cor…

Global Sociology
Over the years, sociology has exhibited a partly dialectical and partly alternating emphasis on the global and on the particular. Many early theorists emphasized the unity of mankind, or attempted to order civilizations according to various theories of history. Subsequently, there was a retreat to description and data collection, particularly in the United States; the rediscovery of other times and other places, but in a predominantly relativisti…

The Utility of Utopias
The utility of utopias rests upon the fact that much of human action, individual and collective, is purposive. Certain intellectual stances-such as analysis of social action in static systems-preclude attention to sequences; and even the theory of social evolution gives scant room to deliberate change. Deliberate change, however, is increasingly characteristic of the contemporary world, and that is how utopias as aspirations for the future come i…

ENEWED interest among sociologists in well-documented historical materials as a basis for comparative study of social systems has recently turned attention to the backgrounds of the American treatment of the Negro during the period of slavery. Such materials, however, can be of maximum utility to the science only through careful and systematic analysis in terms of basic elements and relationships as a foundation for general theory. The present pa…
A Reconsideration of Theories of Social Change
The Exportability of the "Labor Force" Concept
EVERY attempt at comparative statistical analysis through space and often through time, is likely to be plagued by at least two problems: the availability and the comparability of data. The concept of force or other rubric designed to distinguish economically active and inactive sectors of a population is a particular example of this troublesome generality. Official and scholarly interest in various aspects of economic development has given new e…

Current Issues in Industrial Sociology
IT is a commonplace to note that sociologists are not immune to the force of some types of group behavior that they study. This is notably true of fashion and fad, and is currently illustrated by the field called sociology. The field has become fashionable. The pressure for conformity, which acts upon the college instructional departments collectively if not upon each sociologist severally, is enhanced by certain obvious and largely unexploited p…

Pressures and Barriers in Future Migration
IN A world nominally committed by the United Nations to a more nearly equal distribution of resources relative to population, one might expect numerous proposals for the migration of people to areas of greater opportunity. While it is doubtless true that population pressure is now discredited as a basis for demands for Lebensraum, colonies, or trade outlets, it is nevertheless recognized that inequalities in the distribution of resources and econ…
Some Principles of Stratification
Economic Limits of International Resettlement
AMONG the endless postwar projects now 4 germinating are many looking to IL planned migration arranged by bilateral agreement or an international agency. The attempt to plan population mobility reflects a general conviction that unrestricted migration, a free trade in peoples, is politically and perhaps even economically impossible. The spontaneous movement of individuals or families seeking greater opportunities, which reached the proportions of…
