    This document provides a summary of contemporary social theories and a glance at Western-inspired social theory. It discusses how social theory has been a subject of reflection and how societies have been viewed as delicate yet efficient systems. It also discusses key terms like culture, modernity, and gender. The document suggests that a change in ideas about how we view the world can shake up our understanding of society and humanity. It questions if culture remains a relevant framework for understanding an ever-changing sense of "us" and "them" in a post-World War II era where analytical tools have weakened.
