Question
CBSEENSO11022922

Discuss the different tasks that demand cooperation with reference to agricultural or industrial operations.

Solution
(1) Cooperation : It is a social process where individuals interact among themselves and work together. In this process, they make effort to adjust among themselves.

(2) Need of Cooperation : Human beings have to cooperative to meet their basic needs, and to produce and reproduce themselves and their world.

(3) Different forms of Cooperation : Changed from one historical society to another. For example, it would recognise that in simple societies where no surplus grains (or agricultural products or even industrial products) or manufactured product was produces, there was cooperation between individuals and groups who were not divided on class or caste or race lines. But in societies where surplus is produced— whether feudal or capitalist (former was mainly an agricultural and later was an industrial)—the dominant class appropriates the surplus and cooperation would necessarity involve potential conflict and competition.

(4) The factory owner and the factory worker do cooperate in their everyday work. Total production depends on their good mutual relations and cooperation.

(5) In agricultural operations some members of the society grow wheat and the others grow rice. Some people grow vegetables or fruits and some people rear animals or bees or fish or do some other works or tasks related with agriculure. Some people prepare tools and implements required for cultivation. Some prepare agricultural land, sow seeds, water fields or plants or at proper time cut the crops and bring grains or products into the market.
