The Economy: A. Definition of social institutions- a societal sub system or part of social life that is organized to meet human needs. Definition of the economy is: the social institution that organizes a society’s production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.B. The agricultural revolution led to a dramatic expansion of the economy as a result of:1. Agricultural technology- where we bring in more technology no matter how simpleit is, to improve the economic system. The domestication of animals help develop agriculture 50X more productive than it was in the hunting and gathering societies. 2. Productive Specialization- a form of social division of labor. Existing branches and new branches emerging, and branches in the industry multiplying over and over; job specialization. The more specialized, the more it became pronounced.3. Permanent settlements- helped expand the economy because it gave stable constant place of production and allowed for a trade route.4. Trade itself- linked traders, goods from others. C. The Industrial Revolution changed the economy in five ways. 1. New forms of energy- the steam engine came about. Up until this point, labor was physical.2. Centralization of work in factories- up until this point, people worked from their homes and went to the cities to sell their goods. 3. Manufacturing in mass production- where people began to turn raw materials intofinished goods. 4. Specialization- focus on one part, instead of a whole.5. Wage Labor- working for others, strangers, instead of working for yourself. Just a job. D. The Information Revolution and the postindustrial society1. A postindustrial economy refers to the productive system based on service work, not product, and the extensive use of information technology. 2. Since 1950, the Information Revolution has dramatically transformed U.S. society.a. Gone from tangible products, to ideas. Instead of producing goods so much, we have gone where people are working more with symbols.b. Gone from mechanical skills, to literacy skills. Speaking and writing are very important in this age. c. Gone from factories to almost anywhere. More information technology. People can work from home. E. Sectors of the economy (3) 1. Primary- where we get the raw materials from the natural environment.2. Secondary- transformation where the raw materials turn into manufactured goods.3. Tertiary- where goods and services are sold to consumers. F. Global economy Definition- the economy that has expanded cross national borders. 1. Five major consequences 1. Global division of labor. Each region of the world, countries specialize in different types of economic activities. Dedicated to service work2. Increasing number of factories and services3. Because of expanding global economy, many governments can no longer control the economic activity within their borders. 4. A small number of business control a vast share of the world’s economic activities. 5.Consequences of the global economy- raises questions and concerns of rights and opportunities of all workers. II.
