Which is the last step of Prismatic society ?

  • A.Neo-Prismatic
  • B.Ortho-Prismatic
  • C.Eo-Prismatic
  • D.Bio-Prismatic

Answer: A

The last stage is the neo-prismatic.

F.W. Riggs described societies as fused, prismatic or diffracted. In his later revision of the model he divided the prismatic stage itself into three: the eo-prismatic (the early stage, close to the fused end), the ortho-prismatic (the middle, typical stage) and the neo-prismatic (the late stage, approaching the diffracted end).

The prefixes give the order: eo- means dawn or early, ortho- means straight or standard, and neo- means new or late. So eo-prismatic comes first, not last, and ortho-prismatic is in the middle. Bio-prismatic is not one of Riggs's stages.
