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

1.4.3.2. 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.
