Comments
Comments: This program describes the processes and methods societies use to establish and maintain social control. It mainly emphasizes interaction among members of the same group, but some attention is given to disputes between societies. The program describes the differences between internal control (i.e., religious dictates) and external control (i.e., code of law), methods of enforcement and why one type of social control might best serve the society's needs. It explores the various functions law might serve in different cultures, as well as the concepts of formal and informal dispute settlement, negotiation, adjudication and mediation. Finally, the program explores the phenomenon of war and explains how the concept of world view is integral to explaining why and how war occurs.
