M. BUNGE proposes a systemic sociology whose central thesis would be that “any structuratedhuman group , from a family to the world system , should be conceived as a system, made from human beings, and possibly their artifacts ”
Moreover, in any human society, “it is possible to distinguish four closely interrelated subsystems . These are the biological system, characterized by kinship relations ; the economic system centered in work and trade; the political system characterized by administration and power relations; and the cultural system, united by… creation and communication of information ” (1995, p.29-30)
