Social Change and Development in India: Globalisation and Social Change

Question:

Read the following passage and answer the following questions:

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 policies on forest rights of the tribal population or rural indebtedness. Or examine global social processes such as: the ipact 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?

Options:

Impact of global market on farmers

Employment chances of middle class

Changes in lesiure time of young people

Heirarchical organisation of caste group

Correct Answer:

Heirarchical organisation of caste group

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Heirarchical organisation of caste group.

The hierarchical organization of caste groups is not directly impacted by globalization. While globalization may influence various aspects of social life, including economic structures, employment opportunities, and leisure activities, the hierarchical organization of caste groups is deeply rooted in traditional social structures and cultural practices within specific societies. Globalization may indirectly affect caste dynamics through economic changes, urbanization, or cultural exchanges, but it is not a direct factor in determining the hierarchical organization of caste groups.
