HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

OF THE SOCIETY

At school, we were taught that there were several social

systems:

- Primitive society

- Slavery
- Feudalism

- Capitalism and

- Socialism, as transitional phase towards (utopian)

communism.
Social systems have been created, analyzed and

classified in different ways. For example, it is said that

primitive society is the first form of social system in which
people grouped together. These were small, local groups

– families and tribes. For the first time, tools were used,

which enabled men to be stronger than animals. Fire and
the wheel were great inventions. Fire served to satisfy

various needs of the tribe and individuals. The wheel

allowed easier transportation of big and heavy objects.

The strongest man in the tribe became its leader.
