It involves the adoption of modern technologies, institutions, and values, as well as social and cultural changes that accompany this transition. Modernisation is often associated with industrialization, urbanization, and the spread of capitalism.

The process of modernisation can have both positive and negative effects, as it can lead to increased standards of living and opportunities, but also to social inequalities and cultural dislocation.

    • Durkheim

    • Hegel

    • Marx

    • Adorno

    Correct Answer
    A. Durkheim
    Explanation
    Durkheim suggested that in a capitalist society, with a complex division of labor, economic regulation would be needed to maintain order. He stressed that the major transition from a primitive social order to a more advanced industrial society could otherwise bring crisis and disorder. Durkheim's ideas align with his theory of social integration and the importance of social cohesion in maintaining a stable society. He believed that without regulation, the division of labor could lead to anomie, a state of normlessness and social disorganization. Therefore, Durkheim argued for the necessity of economic regulation to prevent social crises in capitalist societies.

    The historiographical concept of a Finnish __________________has not had a turbulent history.

    • Sonderweg

    • Stoklolm

    • Columbus

    • Artagnan

    Correct Answer
    A. Sonderweg
    Explanation
    The historiographical concept of a Finnish Sonderweg has not had a turbulent history. The term "Sonderweg" refers to the idea that certain countries, particularly Germany, followed a unique path that led to authoritarianism and ultimately to the rise of Nazism. However, in the case of Finland, this concept does not apply as the country did not experience the same trajectory. Finland maintained its democratic institutions and did not fall into authoritarianism or fascism. Therefore, the concept of a Finnish Sonderweg is not applicable and the history of this concept in relation to Finland is not turbulent.
