2.Critical social theories use ideas about the state of nature. Nature may be something negative from which human action can provide escape, or, more nostalgically, as a state to which people might return if only current social conditions were changed for the better; for example, if we could escape from the clutches of modernity and techno-capitalism to return to a more traditional community lifestyle in harmony with each other and with nature. Somewhat regardless of which assumption is driving the perspective, critical social science considers that “society is characterized by historicity (susceptibility to change)” (Agger, 2006, p. 4). For critical social work, the transformative aspect is to intervene in social structures and conditions, and change them for the better.
