The ideal type of traditional life forms and regional societies (temporal and spatial embeddness) is mentioned by Benno Werlen in opposite to the ideal type of late-modern life forms and globalized societies. The main characteristics of traditional life forms and regional societies are:
1. Traditions intertwine past, present, and future
2. Kinship organizes and stabilizes social relations over time
3. Birth, age, and sex determine social positions
4. Face-to-face situations dominate communication
5. Small amount of interregional communication
6. The local village constitutes the familiar life context
