"There is in modem society a structural change that underlies many
of the social changes with which the conference was concerned. My
argument here will be that this is a qualitative change in the way
society is organized, a change with many implications. I will call
this a change from primordial and spontaneous social organization
to constructed social organization (see Coleman 1990, Chapters 2,
3, and 24 for an extended examination of this change). The common
definitions of these terms contain some hint of what I mean, but I
will describe the change more fully to ensure that it is clearly
understood. By primordial social organization I mean social
organization that has its origins in the relationships established
by childbirth. Not all these relations are activated in all
cultures, but some subset of these relations forms the basis for
all primitive and traditional social organization. From these
relations, more complex structures unfold. For example, from these
relations come families; from families come clans; from clans,
villages; and from villages, tribes, ethnicities, or societies."
