Briefly compare the relationships in production between traditional societies and nontraditional societies

What will be an ideal response?


In traditional societies, relationships are based on history ("the way it's always been"); they are diffuse (vague, covering many areas of life); and they are long-term (often lifelong). In nontraditional societies, relationships are based on contracts (which change as the situation changes); they are specific (contracts specify conditions); and they are short-term (for the length of the contract).
