Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Societies that rely on domesticated animals for subsistence are referred to as pastoral societies. These societies are typically nomadic or semi-nomadic and may move their herds to find new grazing grounds. Pastoral societies are distinct from agrarian societies that rely primarily on the cultivation of crops for subsistence, and industrialized societies that rely on mechanized production and technology to meet their needs. Postmodern societies are a recent concept associated with the globalization of information and the blurring of cultural boundaries.
