Traditional societies may rely almost exclusively on custom as the 1_____ of legal rules and resolve disputes through conciliation or 2_____ by village elders, or by some other moral or divine authority. As for law, such societies need little of it. Traditional societies are more 3_____ than modern industrial ones. Social relations are more direct and intimate, interests are shared by virtually everyone, and there are fewer things to quarrel about. In a small, homogeneous society with little division of labor and a high degree of 4_____, informal sanctions are sufficient to keep most behavior in line with the norms. An ideal example is the community on Tristan da Cunha, and 5_____ island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. A few hundred people live there, growing potatoes and catching fish. When social scientists visited the island in the 1930s, they were amazed to see how “6_____” these people were, even though they had nothing 7_____ law as we know it. There was no serious crime on the island that anyone could recall, no police, courts, 8_____, or judges. There was no need for them. People in the community relied on informal mechanisms of social control such as 9_____ and open 10_____, which can be effective and severe in their own way. Such forms of control work in small, homogeneous societies. As societies become larger, more complex, and modern, 11_____ gives way to 12_____ . Common interests decrease in relation to special interests. Face-to-face relations become progressively less important, as do13_____ ties. Access to material goods becomes more indirect, with a greater likelihood of 14_____ allocation, and the struggle for available goods becomes intensified. As a result, the prospects for 15_____ and dispute within the society increase. The need for explicit regulatory and enforcement mechanisms becomes increasingly apparent. As a result, laws gradually become to be more codified and formal.
