The Transformation of Society in "The City of the End of Things"

Because of its many variables, the future of society is often an unpredictable topic. In cities of "lost island" and "Internet of goods" the future is expressed as being harmful to the society represented by each story. In Pauline Johnson's short story "The Lost Island", the illusion of a medical scientist who represses people by telling the arrival of settlers is embodying that concept. In the poems of "The End of the City" by Archibald Lampman, this concept is expressed through the collapse of a larger human society, which encourages a colder, more robotic era.

One of the most interesting questions in human sociology research is the transition from a society based on a small society into a big society based on the origin of cities and nations, internal differentiation of wealth, political power, and economic specialization. Most of our knowledge of early civilization comes from archeology. In this course we will look at the interpretation of the first city proposed by archaeologists and the national social development through comparative study of the early civilizations of the Old World and the American Continent.

In this course, we will look at the transformation of American society after the civil war. Lecture and recitation are based on the emergence of urban culture and the possibility of pluralistic society, the experience and influence of immigrants from the 19th century to the 20th century, the communication and industrial revolution, the change of family dynamics, the emergence of modern early childhood, And we are paying attention to young people Changes in culture, gender relations and sexual behavior, changes in the nature of ethnic problems and consumer social class relations, victory of self-psychological and therapeutic concepts

Cities are evolving, the flow of people, things, ideas, and information is rapidly growing. There are also environmental and social impacts of these flows. Therefore, we understand that we need to transform society, cities, welfare agencies, supply chains, and consumption patterns into sustainable ones and we are anxious to do so. Thanks to digitization and automation, we can organize resources more efficiently than ever. Resources vary from materials and vehicles to people and knowledge. We have seen the impact of the media and the retail industry, and now we are beginning to see the same transformational impact on public utility and finance, transportation, health care, education and the overall labor force.
