Name: Professor: Course: Date: Primary agents of social control have changed from the pre-modern past to the modern present. Social control refers to the ways in which behaviors are regulated in order to achieve social order in the society and prevent wrongdoings in the society. The social control agents control the way people carry out the activities through rules norms practices and social structure of the society CITATION Bor13 \l 1033 (Bordoni). The social control agents have changed over centuries and the social control that kept social order before and during the start of the revolution in England is totally different from those that govern the modern society. During 15th and 19th century the church as social control agent played a crucial role in maintaining peace and harmony in the society. The people believed what the church advocate for and anyone who tried how to interact the other people. The education is used as a social control agent which help people to understand the laws and orders put in place in maintaining harmony in the society and preventing chaos and violence as people interact in businesses and homes (Sharp Green & Lewis). Moreover the family set up has played a fundamental role as a social control agent which brings people together in the society. Therefore the social order in the modern society has been maintained through helping the society members on the importance of respecting each other and the need to adhere to the laws and policies put in place by the government.
