“Ibn I khaldoon” has described two types of societies in his book “Badvi” and “Hazri”. According to his theory “Badvi” is rural society whereas, “Hazri” is urban society. Individuals living in Badvi society are united and have strong force of Al-Asabia. They have robust physical structure, live in deserts where satisfying basic needs are quite difficult. However, they have to struggle hard for their survival, therefore, they are physically strong. The traits and description provided by “Ibn-I-khaldoon” of the individuals, living in Badvi society, are similar to those people who live in villages and small valleys or rural areas. On the other hand, people living in “Hazri” society are described; similar to those people, who lives in urban society. They are unlike the people of “Badvi” society. They cannot defend them self against, external aggression; individuals of “Badvi” society are dependent on state security. They are not physically strong for the reason that, basic needs of life are easily available to them. In Hazri society, individuals do not have to struggle hard for their survival.
