Biosphere and Sociosphere
Biosphere and Sociosphere
• Man is a social animal with the inbuilt instinct to be with his group.
•
Since man is most communicative, his behavioral concerns relate to his fellow beings.
• Thus man’s attitudes to life and value systems are shaped by the size and quality of the
group to which he belongs.
• Over the time, species in each community carve out a special place for themselves.
Sociosphere
• Community is not stable but dynamic, changing regularly over time and space.
• Different social groups and social structures like industrial, agricultural political, cultural, religious and
aesthetic etc. have evolved and developed during various stages of development of human civilization and
these social structures represent man’s accumulated cultural resources primarily based on natural
environment.
•
Environment has been changing over a period of time due to
1. Variations in climatic and physio graphic factors, and
2. The activities of the species of the communities themselves.
