Drawing on the ideas of Lenski, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, what would you say is the biggest challenge facing us as members of modern societies? That is, in what way does modern society pose a problem for people that did not exist when people were living in traditional societies?

Answer 1

I believe that it would be that man has "evolved" into having to rely more on technology for a means of communication. If today's man were forced into a society without cell phones, computers, electricity, or means of gas powered modes of transportation, they would fail to survive. It is also believed that a society cannot survive without a dictatorship to rule over the mass of people. That the everyday man needs to have a government tell them when, where, and how to live. As sad as this is, it is becoming this way here in America. People need to take this class seriously, along with the history of America, the social status throughout the stages of its youth and up till now. How the government as well as the society has changed and devolved.
