In comparison with natural systems the human society is more subject to high-quality and quantitative changes. They occur quicker and more often. It characterizes society as a dynamic system.
Instruction
1. Dynamic call a system which constantly is in a condition of the movement. It develops, changing own lines and signs. One of such systems is society. Change of a condition of society can be caused by outside influence. But internal requirement of the system sometimes is its cornerstone. The dynamic system differs in complex structure. It is made by a set of subtotals and elements. On a global scale human society includes many other societies in the form of the states. The states make public groups. Unit of public group is the person.
2. Society constantly interacts with other systems. For example, with the nature. It uses its resources, potential, etc. Throughout all history of mankind the environment and natural cataclysms not only helped people. Sometimes they slowed down development of society. And even became the reason of his death. The character of interaction with other systems is built up thanks to a human factor. Usually understand set of such phenomena as will, interest and conscious activity of individuals or social groups as it.
3. Characteristic signs of society as dynamic system: - dynamism (change of all society or its elements); - a complex of the interacting elements (subsystems, social institutes, etc.); - self-sufficiency (the system itself creates conditions for existence); - integration (interrelation of all components of a system); - self-controllability (ability to show reaction to events out of a system).
4. Society as a dynamic system consists of elements. They can be material (buildings, technical systems, institutions, etc.). And non-material or ideal (actually ideas, values, traditions, customs, etc.). So, the economic subsystem is made by banks, transport, goods, services, laws, etc. The singular backbone element is a person. It has a possibility of the choice, has free will. As a result of human activity or group of people there can be large-scale changes in society or its separate groups. It does a social system more mobile.
5. Rates and quality of the changes happening in society can be different. Sometimes the developed orders exist several hundreds of years, and then changes happen quickly enough. Their scales and quality can be various. Society constantly is in development. It is ordered integrity in which all elements are in a certain interrelation. This property is called sometimes nonadditivity of a system. One more feature of society as dynamic system - self-controllability.
