41. Select twelve groups at random and enter under the heads in the classification of social groups. What groups are difficult to classify? 42. Study the organization and structure of one of the foregoing groups in terms of (a) statistical facts about it; (b) its institutional aspect; (c) its heritages; and (d) its collective opinion. 43. "All progress implies a certain amount of disorganization." Explain. 44. What do you understand to be the differences between the various social processes: (a) historical, (b) cultural, (c) economic, (d) political? 45. What is the significance of the relative diameters of the areas of the cultural, political, and economic processes? 46. "The person is an individual who has status." Does an animal have status? 47. "In a given group the status of every member is determined by his relation to every other member of that group." Give an illustration. 48. Why are the problems of the person, problems of the group as well? 49. What does the organization of the bibliography and the sequence of the volumes referred to suggest in regard to the development of sociological science? 50. How far does it seem to you that the emphasis upon process rather than progress accounts for the changes which have taken place in the sociological theory and point of view?
