You may use books and notes.}{\plain \par }{\plain \par }{\plain 1. One of the ways that the study of abstract concepts like hierarchy and heterarchy could be useful is in thinking about values. \par }{\plain (a) What societal values would hierarchically organized institutions promote and foster? \par }{\plain (b) What societal values would more heterarchically organized institutions promote and foster? (c) If we assume that every organization and institution had, has, and must have elements of both, how do these two ways of thinking about societal order translate into the politics in the nation state?\par }{\plain \par }{\plain \par }{\plain 2. What is the importance of Ossowski\'92s point about how the form a society takes (\'91social structure\'92 or \'91social organization\'92) depends on the position of the observer (opinions, values, vested interests, etc)? Does this just mean that we have to mistrust all scholarship on this subject and might as well give up, or is he making a more subtle point?\par }{\plain \par }{\plain \par }{\plain 3. Midlarsky has confused and maddened us for several weeks. First, (a) outline his argument, then (b) explain why his proposition is not satisfactory to you in addressing his stated theme (the evolution of inequality). Finally, be creative: (c) how would }{\plain \i you}{\plain go about studying the question?\par }{\plain \par }{\plain \par }{\plain 4. Power (getting, using, and keeping it) has emerged as a central theme in the course. Do you agree with Mann that one way to study history is as a sort of chronicle of power? Why or why not?\par }{\plain \par }{\plain \par }{\plain 5. Why do states (both the clunky old conquest/imperial states and slicker, newer nation-states) need to control the \'91manufacture\'92 of history? How do they do this? Do you think that there is a \'93\'91state\'92 state of mind\'94?\par }{\plain \par }{\plain \par }{\plain 6. What is \'93interstitial surprise\'94 (Mann 1986) ? How does that relate to surprise (Crumley 2001)?\par }{\plain \par }}
