Hunter-gatherer communities are foragers and a nomadic society that typically tend to have less social discipline and more individual freedom than agricultural societies due to having an overall less organized way of life, constantly being on the move, and having less dense of a population. For agricultural societies as specializations emerged in the economy, unbalances of wealth and ranks emerged with them and more social discipline, which means less freedom, occurred to maintain a balance in society and provide security. The new life in towns and cities required a division between those who direct and manage and those who are directed, and rankings of wealth, status and power began to characterize the new societies. Military leaders who led the city's army and protected the city from outside threats provided rules to govern over societies to keep the people safe and continue to work and trade. Hunter gatherers transitioned from a food gathering society to a food cultivating one, and settled down to produce their own food rather then roam for miles while hunting for their food source. The transition took thousands of years and brought about foundations of modern civilization leading to a basis for modern day society.
