Folk- Urban continuum:
It is a polar-ideal type of construction, which implies that no known society precisely corresponds to the description of the extreme ends, but fall near one or the other of the two, and of the same poles or in between.
What is folk society? (It is too theoretical, I will simply it.)
What is a village society?
What are its features?
--Relatively Isolated, Feeling of ‘We’ and ‘They’, personal relation, common interest, simple division of labour, homogeneity, tradition have a big role, simple technology, relatively independent, magic (both white and black) has a role, sacred prevails over secular, economy is for status.
The moral order signified all the biding together of men through implicit conviction as to what is right, and through implicit ideals, which means, in turn, that member of folk society or village society pursued their own ideals of the ‘good life’.
What is urban society?
The technical order of urban life is composed of opposite attributes. The bonds that hold urban societies together do no rest on convictions of ‘good life’. They are not characterised by a foundation in human sentiments. They result instead of mutual usefulness, deliberate coercion, and from necessity and expediency.
In folk-urban continuum or folk-urban dichotomy, folk society comes in contact with urban society and inherits certain characteristics, so as folk society has certain characteristics of urban. It is between illiterate and literate, between undeveloped and developed, between simple and complex societies. The folk or village societies are losing its characteristics because of contact with urban society. Among folk or village societies, isolation, kinship systems, group feeling, homogeneity, is no more there or loosening.
Increase in contact, bringing about heterogeneity, is sufficient cause of secularisation and individualism. Thus, contacts result in change and disorganisation of chief traits of folk-society as well. It may become disorganisation appears. It is not only true with folk-urban societies, but also contact between any two dissimilar societies results in change. This contact is technically called as ‘acculturation’.
If a society looses its isolation or homogeneity, it becomes secularised and its members work more for their own interest, rather in the interest of the group.
That’s I emphasis on integration of several ideas and cultures. Because it promotes tolerance and secularist thoughts.
In fact, there is nothing great about this observation in the present date. But it was identified through intensive study of Robert Redfield, in Mexico as well as in India in 1927-28. At that time it was something unique as it was received wide popularity around the world.
