7. Social Control
Social control refers generally to societal and political
mechanisms or processes that regulate individual and
group behavior in an attempt to gain conformity and
compliance to the rules of a given society, state, or
social group. Sociologists identify two basic forms of
social control.
8. Mechanisms of social control
Externalized control System .
Externalized control enforces socially appropriate behavior through
outside agents such as the judicial system, priests, professors,
politicians, police officers, etc., in order to “constrain action, define
opportunity, and facilitate patterns of interaction” .
Internalized control.
Internalized control is the process by which an individual controls their
own behavior through conformity to norms or standards. As a
chronological consequence to externalized control, individuals
voluntarily conform to social expectations because it is what they
believe is the right thing to do, otherwise known as enculturation—the
process by which a person acquires the values, ideas, and other factors
of a society. Research suggests that social control is attained, though
not exclusively, through politics, religion, and education.

12. Social Control System in Bangladesh
Rural society
The basic social unit in a village is the family (poribar or gushti), generally consisting of a complete or
incomplete patrilineally extended household (chula) and residing in a homestead (bari). The individual nuclear
family often is submerged in the larger unit and might be known as the house (ghor). Above the bari
level, patrilineal kin ties are linked into sequentially larger groups based on real, fictional, or assumed
relationships.
Urban society
In 1988 about 18 percent of the population lived in urban areas, most of which were villages or trade
centers in rural areas. Urban centers grew in number and population during the 1980s as a result of
an administrative decentralization program that featured the creation of upazilas.
Family, household, and kinship
Family and kinship are the core of social life in Bangladesh. A family group residing in a bari
functions as the basic unit of economic endeavor, landholding, and social identity. In the eyes of
rural people, the chula defined the effective household—--an extended family exploiting jointly-
held property and being fed from a jointly operated kitchen.
Marriage
Marriage is a civil contract rather than a religious sacrament in Islam (see Islamic marriage
contract), and the parties to the contract represent the interests of families rather than the direct
personal interests of the prospective spouses. In Bangladesh, parents ordinarily select spouses for
their children, although men frequently exercise some influence over the choice of their spouses.
13. Social Control System in Bangladesh
Purdah
As of 1988, the practice of purdah (the traditional seclusion of women) varied widely
according to social milieu, but even in relatively sophisticated urban circles the core of
the institution, the segregation of the sexes, persisted. In traditional circles, full purdah
required the complete seclusion of women from the onset of puberty.
14. Religion System in Bangladesh
Islam is the official religion in Bangladesh and is practiced by
some 88 percent of the country's inhabitants. Other religions
that are active in Bangladesh include
Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, animism and tribal belief
systems.
The majority of the population who follow Islam pursue the
Sunni branch of the Muslim religion whilst a small group are
Shia.
Interestingly, Bangladesh is reported to have one of the
biggest Muslim communities in the world. It was during the
13th century that masses began converting to Islam and this
conversion continued for several centuries. It was the Muslim
missionaries and mystics who brought the religion of Islam
15. Conclusion
Social control and Religion are interrelated with others
and in South Asian Subcontinent , Bangladesh is the
only country , where all types of religion people are live
with friendly and peacefully
