*By reading this summary, you will learn about the main characteristics and differences of traditional societies compared to our modern state societies, and what we can learn from a study of how they operate.
*You will also discover that : Traditional societies have a fundamentally different relationship to the world than we do; This relationship is expressed in a wide variety of areas such as community life, resource management, conflict management and education; Despite the obvious advantages of our Western way of life, we have much to learn from some traditional practices.
*For tens of thousands of years, Man has lived in a "traditional" way. In our modern societies, under the authority of a state and shaped by technology, we tend to forget this rich past and consider as primitive peoples with a comparable existence. For their part, these populations are increasingly under Western influence and are undergoing accelerated change, sometimes seeing their entire way of life turned upside down within the space of a generation. But the past does not necessarily have to be brushed aside. Despite their shortcomings, traditional societies also have their advantages, which can improve our own way of life.
