Key Concepts A. Different forms of Society
1. Hunting and gathering society: is the earliest and simplest form of
society and is generally recognized by its small size, since it consists mainly of families. They spend most of their time searching for food, thus, they are considered as nomadic; no permanent territory. Its members are treated equally and decisions are usually derived through consensus. As a result, the roles of its members and the distribution of labor is not clearly defined. 2.Pastoral society: is characterized by the domestication of animals served as a source for food supply. Compared to hunting and gathering society, this form of society has a larger population and remains in one place. They also produce surplus food and resources which they trade with other societies forming meaningful bonds. This relative prosperity enables the people to engage in other activities apart from those necessary for survival, such as handicrafts which eventually leads to the emergence of specialized tasks in the community. 3.Horticultural society: engages in the small-scale cultivation of plants, fruits, and vegetables 1 and the https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/society-isometric- background-people-different-occupations-743006266
domestication of animals. Semi-nomadic, which means that they travel to another place when there is shortage of the resources in one area. 4.Agrarian/agricultural society: involves in a largescale and long-term cultivation of crops and domestication of animals. Characterized by improved technology and usage of tools to aid in farming which results in increased production giving rise to a growing population in agricultural societies. Large population leads to a more structured social system that helps manage resources and its member. 5.Feudal society: is based on the ownership of land. Its members are organized based on status which consists of higher class/ruler (people who own a land), vassal/follower (granted a right to manage a land), and peasants (workers who cultivate the land and tend the animals in exchange of military protection). This society is mindful of the hierarchy system. It arose during Medieval times in Western part of Europe. 6.Industrial society: is based on the use of specialized machinery in the production of goods and services. The emergence of new production and industrial methods along with innovations in transportation and communication are results from the advances of science and technology in the late 18th century. In this era, improved trade and commerce, public education and better life conditions are evident for many people. However, an important factor in social relations within this form of society is the workplace where people interact with individuals who do not come from the same family, clan, or community, thus, cultural diversity and bureaucratic forms of organization arises. 7.Post-industrial society: emerged by the establishment of societies based on knowledge, information, and the sale of services. Virtual society arises where people organize themselves through communication technology and Internet. This society is composed of members with higher educational attainment, better training, and specialized roles.
B. Interrelationship between Human Person and Society
It can be said that you cannot think of a person outside of society and you cannot think of a society without a group of persons. Thus, human persons and society are interrelated to each other in which one cannot exist without the other. Moreover, society’s role is considered important in the growth and development of a person as well as the person’s role in transforming society.
One important way wherein society influences us, as person is, its ability to define the relationships and interactions among its members. There are various ways that society influences our development and interactions but one way is through the establishment of the following:
● Norms – a set of traits and behavior that society considers acceptable,
thus, to be encouraged to pass unto other members (e.g. pagmamano : Filipino’s unique gesture to greet and show 2 respect to elders) ● Laws – more formal and stringent norms that establish and define acceptable behavior of citizens (e.g. using of pedestrian lanes when crossing streets)
● Folkways – less formal norms that arise from tradition and do not result in punishment when violated (e.g. concept of appropriate swimwear, others might wear T-shirt and shorts, others might wear bikini)
● Social system – organized or patterned set of relationships among
individuals and groups that compose a society
● Social role – actions and behaviors expected of a certain individual
● Social groups/ Social classes – individuals who share similar backgrounds
or perform similar roles
● Social institutions – certain groups that perform vital functions in society
which include the family, school, government, and religion
● Social values – actions or ideals that are considered vital in maintaining
an orderly society (e.g. cooperation, obedience to the law, concern for others, respect for diversity, etc.)
