Define and compare the AGIL scheme to pattern variables.

What will be an ideal response?


The pattern variables are a set of five “choices” that, akin to the AGIL scheme, apply not only to the individual level but to the collective level as well. They refer at once to the variant normative priorities of social systems, the dominant modes of orientation in personality systems, and the patterns of values in cultural systems. The AGIL paradigm included adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency as prerequisites for society to survive.
