Abstract:
Technology is the key to understanding cultural stages and patterns. In a leading study focusing on the evolution of technology and cultural patterns, the trend of technology along with cultural patterns has been studied throughout history. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the documentary method has been used. This research showed that according to the theories of anthropologists such as Tyler, Fraser, Morgan, Malinowski, Strauss, Margaret Mead, Harris and Baudrillard, technology can play a role in the cultural development of civilization. But sometimes some technologies, such as the media, can change or damage a culture. In the case of hunter-gatherer and farmer tribes, simple tools made by the natives of that region for a specific purpose, by using them in beliefs and beliefs, ethics, religion, environment and cooperation, contribute to the development and strengthening of that society. While in industrial and post-industrial societies, in some ways, it has contributed significantly to human well-being, but it has caused the destruction of the environment, the destruction of religion and morality. The results showed that according to anthropologists, technology can lead to the growth of cultural patterns.
Machine summary:
It is obvious that every culture is also a product of instrumental and environmental factors (White, 1379: 80) and humans also, in order to prepare their surrounding natural environment for living, use water, soil, stone, wood, plants, and animals so that they can prepare tools and implements from them, meaning the tools and implements to which the cultural life of societies is dependent.
From this perspective, Malinowski4, for the understanding and interpretation of cultural patterns in words, considers the function of life as a series of needs proposed by Maslow5, who considers the most important level of needs to be physical needs, then safety, love and affection, respect, and self-actualization (Soltani, Azgoli, Alashti, 1394: 150), as the primary goal of every society, which leads to the beneficial meaning of that type of technological tool.
Table 3: Classification of the history of technology based on historical eras (Refer to the page image) Structure of the hunting period The beginning of technology and cultural patterns dates back to hunter-gatherer societies around 75,000 thousand years before the birth of Christ (Farbad, 1376: 219).
Technology and cultural patterns of the kinship system Claude Levi-Strauss 1, the great French anthropologist and thinker, believes that humans have moved from tools toward social relations and institutions (Askari Khanqah, 1373: 34).
