Types of Co-operation:
The types of co-operation can be discussed in the following ways:
1. Direct Co-operation: In the direct cooperation action the individual involved to do the identical function. Ex. Playing together worshiping together, tilling the field together, taking out a cut from the mud, etc., people do work in company with other members, performance of a common task with ***** efforts brings them social satisfaction.
2. Indirect Co-operation: In this case people work individually for the attainment of a common end. People do tasks towards a similar end. This is based on the principle of division of labor and specialization. For ex. Farmers, spinners, weavers, dyers, tailors are different and engaged in different activities. But their end *** the same, that of producing clothes. The modem technological age requires specialization of skill and functions, hence it depends on Co-operation.
Sociologi st have also spoken of three other types of Cooperation, namely Primary Cooperation Secondary Co-operation and tertiary Co-operation. These types are witnessed in primary groups, secondary groups and between two or more groups respectively.
