Read the passage and answer the following question.

The scope of sociological study is extremely wide. It can focus its analysis of interactions between individuals such as that of a shopkeeper with a customer, between teachers and students, between two friends or family members. It can likewise focus on national issues such as unemployment or caste conflict or the effect of state polices on forest rights of the tribal population or rural indebtedness. Or examine global social processes such as: the impact of new flexible labour regulations on the working class; or that of the electronic media on the young; or the entry of foreign universities on the education system of the country. What defines the discipline of sociology is therefore not just what it studies (i.e. family or trade unions or villages) but how it studies a chosen field.

Which among these is not impacted by globalisation?

Hierarchical organisation of caste group

The correct answer is Option (3) → Hierarchical organisation of caste group.

While globalization has significant impacts on various aspects of society, it's crucial to remember that the hierarchical organization of caste groups is primarily determined by sociocultural factors within a society and not directly influenced by globalization.

• Impact of global market on farmers: Globalization can affect farmers through factors like international trade agreements, competition from foreign markets, and fluctuations in global food prices.

• Changes in leisure time of young people: Globalization can introduce new forms of entertainment, communication, and cultural influences that can shape how young people spend their leisure time.
