What is the name of the social theory that has four distinct substages of industrialization?

Mass Society Theory
Boomer Theory
Contradiction Theory
Four-Stage Theory

The correct answer is: Mass Society Theory

Mass Society Theory is the name of the social theory that has four distinct substages of industrialization. This theory suggests that as societies become more industrialized, they go through four distinct stages pre-industrial, industrial, post-industrial, and mass society. Boomer Theory is not related to industrialization and it is a term used to describe the generation born between 1946 and 1964. Contradiction Theory, also known as Marxist Theory, focuses on the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and proletariat in industrialized societies, rather than stages of industrialization. The Four-Stage Theory is a general term that can refer to various theories about the stages of development in different areas (e.g. psychology, economics), but it is not specific to industrialization.
