What are the differences between traditional and modern societies

The "modern society" in modern Europe is probably market economy, capitalist

, democratization, welfarism, Gesellschaft, urbanization, organic solidarity, industry and commerce, popular science

, and pluralism. A social form. Obviously, such a social form is not exclusive to modern

Europe, but some social groups in other parts of the world also belong to the "modern society

from an early or late date. Thus, in terms of the facts to which the concept corresponds, "modern society" corresponds both to modern Europe and to certain social groups in other parts of the world at certain epochs.

This is because we have already defined "modern society" as the monopoly of Europe. Since we have already established the general meaning of the concept of "modern society," we can use it to compare various real-life societies. Let us assume

some analogies, for example, we can say: in 1000 AD, there were zero countries in the world that belonged to the "modern society"; in 1900 AD, there were 20 countries that belonged to the "modern society"; in 2000 AD, there were 20 countries that belonged to the "modern society"; in 2000 AD, there were 20 countries that belonged to the "modern society"; and in 2000 AD, there were 20 countries that belonged to the "modern society". In 2000 AD, there were 70 such countries.

The opposite of "modern society" is "traditional society," which is characterized by a natural economy, a seated

colonial state, bureaucratic authority, and a lack of social welfare, Bureaucratic authority, lack of social welfare, Gemeinschaft, rurality, mechanical solidarity, agriculture, prevalence of faith-based thinking, monism. We can also compare this concept

with the existing societies, for example, by comparison we might say: in 1000 A.D. there were 120 countries in the world

that belonged to the "traditional societies"; in 1900 A.D. there were 95 such countries; and in 2000 A.D.

that were the "traditional societies" of the world, and in 2000 A.D.

that were the "traditional societies" of the world. In 1900, there were 95 such countries, and in 2000

, there were 70 such countries.

Of course, there are also societies that are a mixture of "modern" and "traditional" societies.

So, in this case, "modern society" and "traditional society" are purely empirical concepts.
