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.

Mechanisms of social controlExternalized 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.

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.

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.

Religion System in BangladeshIslam 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 to the people of Bangladesh.

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
