Question

How is population a pivotal element in social studies What is NPP 2000

Answer 1

Social norms, the customary rules that govern behavior in groups and societies, have been extensively studied in the social sciences. Anthropologists have described how social norms function in different cultures (Geertz 1973), sociologists have focused on their social functions and how they motivate people to act (Durkheim 1950; Parsons 1937, Parsons and Shils 1951; Coleman 1990; Hechter and Opp 2001), and economists have explored how adherence to norms influences market behavior (Akerlof 1976; Young 1998). More recently, also legal scholars have touted social norms as efficient alternatives to legal rules, as they may internalize negative externalities and provide signaling mechanisms at little or no cost (Ellickson 1991; Posner 2000).

Answer 2

Population is a pivotal element in social studies because of the following reasons--

i) It is the point of reference from which all other elements are observed and from which they derive meaning and significance.

ii ) 'Resources','calamities' and 'disasters' are all meaningful in relation to human beings.

iii) Their numbers, distribution, growth and characteristics or qualities provide the basic background for understanding and appreciating all aspects of the environment.

NPP stands for National Population Policy. It is a culmination of years of planned efforts. This policy/programme was implemented in the year 2000 which included measures to control the population growth in India.
