To classify social organizational types is not to judge or rank them - the purpose of classification of "types", e.g., types of social organization, is to make discussion more clear. Language conveys outright and hidden values that come from social position. This makes the job of the Sociologist a challenge. Feel free to stop "the teacher" for a correction or adjustment to language if "the teacher" appears to be in judgement rather than in analysis. It is from respectful discussion that we can put some cracks in the armour of our thinking and find a fertile ground for words that heal, maintain, and build.
Quiz: comb through the web pages and take note of the highlighted, bold, and large terms. If my notes are not clear to you, refer to the book.
