1.1.1.2. ii. Alternative

1.1.2. Advanced a hypothesis

1.1.2.1. Proportion of alternative

1.1.2.2. Degree of culture integreation

1.2. Sorokin

1.2.1. Developed 6 categories of integration

1.2.1.1. i. Unity based upon perception

1.2.1.1.1. - Spatially contagious

1.2.1.1.2. - Perceptual unities

1.2.1.2. ii. Casual - Functional unity

1.2.1.2.1. - Spatially contagious

1.2.1.2.2. - Mechanically cohesive unities

1.2.1.3. iii. Logico - Meaningful unity

1.2.1.3.1. - Indirect Casual

1.2.1.4. iv. Direct casual - Functional unities

1.2.1.5. v. Pure meaningful, logico - Aesthetic unities

1.2.1.6. vi. Integrate the level of concept

1.2.1.6.1. Level of phenomena

1.3. Landacker

1.3.1. Distinguished

1.3.1.1. i. Cultural integration

1.4.3.1.1. means to category of validity

1.4.3.2. link to means of the category of causality-teleology

1.4.3.2.1. succesiveness

1.5. Four possible modi

1.5.1. Following fourfold table expressed

1.5.1.1. 1. If cells number 1 and 2

1.5.1.1.1. It represents the most integrated group in the both system

1.5.1.2. 2. If cells number 1 and 4

1.5.1.2.1. It represents a group which is socially organized but cultural system displays contradiction

1.5.1.3. 3. Connection of cells number 2 and 3

1.5.1.3.1. A case which persons have same values but unable to carry out a coordination action.

1.5.1.4. 4. Cells number 3 and 4

1.5.1.4.1. Case of maximum social and cultural disorganization.
