In which type of society is there little to no specialization and low levels of organization?

Agriculture
Traditional
Industrial
Post-Industrial

The correct answer is: Traditional

In traditional societies, there is little to no economic specialization, meaning that people tend to have a wide variety of skills and everyone is expected to contribute to all aspects of daily life. In contrast, in agricultural societies (option A), there is often a clear division of labor and specialization based on economic activities. Industrial societies (option C) are characterized by high levels of specialization and organization. In post-industrial societies (option D), there is typically a shift away from industrial production and a focus on service-based industries, leading to different forms of specialization and organization. Therefore, traditional societies (option B) are the correct answer as they have low levels of specialization and organization.
