Hunting and gathering
Hunter-gatherer culture emerged among the earliest inhabitants of Africa, with evidence of their activities dating back to 2 million years ago. Among their unique characteristics, the hunter-gatherers actively killed animals for food instead of scavenging meat remains from other predators and developed techniques of setting aside vegetation for consumption at a later date.
Horticulture
Horticulture is an ancient culture style, first "coined" by cultures in the southwest and east Asia by 7-10,000 B.C. The area is commonly known as the "fertile crescent", which incorporated much of the modern southwest Asian countries of Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Turkey.This is the countries where horticulture originally emerged In general, the "crescent" is the upland area in a crescent-shape around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the two large rivers that drain to the Persian Gulf through the land of Iraq
Culture and agriculture
cultural and social values and socialization have a primary influence on farm structure, management, and adaptation. Studies have found social fulfillment through farming and ranching consistently ranks as a primary motivation to continue ranching despite low profits and development pressure. All farmers must balance economic and non-economic goals, which have historically benefited agriculture and ensured the persistence of family farms and ranches.
culture and industry
societal cultural practices and values are believed to affect the practices enacted as well as the values held in organizations embedded within these societies. For example, societal differences in power distance may predict the type of consultant-client relationship preferred in those societies (e.g., directive versus collaborative).
Post-industrial
The term post-industrial society presupposes categorizing society based on an economic means of classification. Its use rests on assessing the relative status of the manufacturing industry as an economic sector. Significant adjustment in sectoral location and nature of employment precipitated by late-twentieth-century deindustrialization in the developed world led many social theorists and critics to predict broad changes throughout domains of everyday life.
