Norbert Elias
Norbert Elias was a prominent German sociologist best known for his work on the process of civilization and the development of social norms. His seminal book, 'The Civilizing Process,' explores how societal changes over centuries have shaped human behavior, emotions, and social structures. Elias's theories emphasized the significance of long-term social processes and the interdependence of individuals within society. He argued that the development of self-regulation and manners reflects broader historical transformations. His insights remain influential in sociology, particularly in understanding the dynamics of modernity, identity, and social change.
