Lesson
Functions of State and
1 Non-State
Actors are entities that participate in economic relations. The two type of
factors involved are the State (and its functions) and the non-state
institutions.

A state is a formal group that is sovereign over its members and occupies a
well-defined territory. It is the formal apparatus of authoritative roles and
law norms through which the sovereignty is exercised.

A political system of a state must be distinguished from the state itself. A

political system consists of the formal and informal structures which
manifest the state’s sovereignty over a territory. It is the civil aspect of
statehood.

What’s In

1. What are the forms and functions of state and non-state institutions?
2. What are the functions of cultural, social and political institutions?
3. What are the norms and patterns of behavior of the cultural, social and
political institutions?

Notes to the Teacher

After doing the activities given in this module, instruct the learner

STATE and Its Elements

A State stands identified with its four absolutely essential elements:
1. Population: is a community of persons. It is a human political
institution. There is no definite limit for the size of population essential for a
State.
2. Territory: is the second essential element of the State. State is a
territorial unit. Definite territory is its essential component. A State cannot
exist in the air or at sea. It is essentially a territorial State. The size of the
territory of a State can be big or small; nevertheless, it has to be a definite,
well-marked portion of territory.
3. Government: is the organization or machinery or agency or magistracy of
the State which makes, implements, enforces and adjudicates the laws of
the state. Government is the third essential element of the State. The state
exercises its sovereign power through its government.

4
Organs of the Government:
Legislature—which formulates the will of State i.e. performs law-
making functions;
Executive— enforces and implements the laws i.e. performs the law
application functions; and
Judiciary—which applies the laws to specific cases and settles the
disputes i.e. performs adjudication functions.
4.Sovereignty: is the most exclusive element of State. State alone possess
sovereignty. Without sovereignty no state can exit. Some institutions can have the
first three elements (Population Territory and Government) but not sovereignty. As
the supreme power of the State, Sovereignty has two dimensions:
Internal Sovereignty: It means the power of the State to order and regulate
the activities of all the people, groups and institutions which are at work
within its territory. All these institutions always act in accordance with the
laws of the State. The State can punish them for every violation of any of its
laws.
External Sovereignty: It means complete independence of the State from
external control. It also means the full freedom of the State to participate in
the activities of the community of nations. Each state has the sovereign
power to formulate and act on the basis of its independent foreign policy.
NON- STATE INSTITUTIONS/ NON- STATE ACTORS - Are people and or
organizations that participate in international affairs and relations but are
not affiliated with any state or nation.
1. Bank and Corporations
2. Cooperative and trade Unions
3. Transnational Advocacy
4. Development Agencies
5. International Organizations

Lesson
Functions of Cultural, Social
2 and Political Institutions

What is It

A state is basically shaped by three institutions; social, cultural and political.

In the Philippine context, our country encompasses many cultures. Social

institutions are mechanisms or patterns of social behaviors that affect our
behavioral patterns. On the other hand, both cultural and political institutions are
the driving force with which we can access the power of the government, and the
benefits we can enjoy such as our education, health, freedom of religion, and
economic choices.

The different functions of social, cultural and political institutions, help us

determine our roles as young individuals/ citizens in this era of globalization.

Social institution consists of a group of people who have come together for
a common purpose. Example of a social institution is a Family- the basic unit in
society traditionally consisting of two parents rearing their children.

Family Orientation- often compared to family of procreation. Family of

procreation refers to the family you create through marriage and by having or
adopting children, it is often compared to family of orientation, which is the family
that we are born into.

Practices in tracing family lineage:

Unilineal system- a system of determining descent groups in which one
belongs to one’s father’s or mother’s line, whereby traced either exclusively through
male ancestors (patriline), female (matriline).
Patrilineal– relating to or based on relationship to the father or descent
through the male line.

Matrilineal– refers to familial relationships that can be traced through a

female. To follow the matrilineal line in your family, start with your mom.

Bilateral- comes from Latin: ―bi‖ means ―two‖ and lateralis means ―belonging
to the side.‖ Debates about issues can be described as bilateral — as long as people
on both sides get to speak. However, bilateral can describe anything with two sides,
like some of the organs in the body: the brain, heart and lungs all have two distinct
sides.

6
Marriage
Some cultures, marriage is arranged by families, and in others people choose their
own husbands or wives if they decide to marry. There are some places where
marriage is limited to unions between a man and a woman, while more and more
states and countries recognize marriage between same-sex couples too.

Types of Marriage
Societies rules of marriage- For the societies that practice marriage there are rules
about whom one can marry and cannot marry (note: not all groups marry;
traditionally the Na in Southwest China do not marry). All societies have some form
of an incest taboo that forbids sexual relationships with certain people. This is
variable from culture to culture.

1. Endogamy- marriage within one’s own tribe or group as required by

custom or law.
2. Exogamy- marriage to a person belonging to a tribe or group other
than your own as required by custom or law.
3. Polygamy– having more than one wife at a time.
4. Polyandry- having more than one relationship, husband at a time.
5. Monogamy-is when you are married to, or in a sexual relationship
with, one person at a time. Humans are one of the few species that
practice monogamy. Well, sometimes.

You may have heard of something called polygamy, which is having more than one
spouse at a time. The difference between monogamy and its antonym, polygamy,
lies in the prefixes. In Greek, poly means ―multiple,‖ while mono means just the
opposite: ―single.‖ Therefore, if you are committed to one romantic partner at a
time, you are in a monogamous
TYPES OF RESIDENCE

1. Patrilocal residence-is structured by a rule that a man remains in

his father’s house after reaching maturity and brings his wife to
live with his family after marriage.
2. Matrilocal residence- is instituted by a rule that a woman
remains in her mother’s household after reaching maturity and
brings her husband to live with her family after marriage
3. Ambilocal residence- also called bilocal residence is the societal
post marital residence in which couples, upon marriage, choose to
live with or near either spouse’s parents.
4. Neolocal residence- type of post-marital residence in which a
newly married couple resides separately from both the husband’s
natal household and the wife’s natal household.

Types of family in the contemporary world

1. Transitional family- is a residential service for young women and
children. The goal is to assist these young women in developing the

7
 educational, vocational and social skills necessary for a successful
transition to self-sufficiency.
2. Single parent- parent is a parent who parents alone. It means there is
an absence of the other parent as opposed to a co-parent, meaning
that the parent is not the only parent regardless of whether or not
they are a couple.
3. Reconstituted- The simple definition of a blended family, also called a
step family, reconstituted family, or a complex family, is a family unit
where one or both parents have children from a previous relationship,
but they have combined to form a new family. The parents may or
may not then have children with each other.

Legal separation- A legal process by which a married couple may formalize a de

facto separation while remaining legally married. A legal separation is granted in
the form of a court order.

Annulment- It is a legal procedure within secular and religious legal systems for
declaring a marriage null and void.

Divorce- It is known as dissolution of marriage, is the termination of a marriage or

marital union, the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities
of marriage, thus dissolving.

Politics among family members

1. Patriarchal– a social system in which males hold primary power and
predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social
privilege and control of property.
2. Matriarchal– a social system in which females hold the primary power
positions in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social
privilege and control of property at the specific exclusion of males – at
least to a large degree.
3. Egalitarian-relating to or believing in the principle that all people are
equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.

Politics among families in society

1. Political Dynasty- is a family in which several members are involved
in politics, particularly electoral politics. Members may be related by
blood or marriage; often several generations or multiple siblings may
be involved.
2. Incest- sexual activity between family members or close relatives. This
typically includes sexual activity between people in a consanguineous
relationship (blood relations), and sometimes those related by affinity,
stepfamily, those related by adoption or marriage, or members of the
same clan or lineage.

 What’s More

Activity 2 - IT’S ALL IN THE FAMILY

Directions: You will create your own version (creative expression) of “FAMILY
TREE”. You can also extrapolate the ―role‖ of each member, his/ her function or
power and responsibilities within the family. You shall also provide context on their
family culture.

Guide Questions

1. What are your observations on the role of your parents? What are the
common challenges of a Filipino family today?

2. What do you think is the role of family in our social, cultural and
political institutions?

3. As they say, family plays an important role in social, cultural and

political change. How does a family shape these three important
institutions?

4. As a youth, why do you think it is important to know our ROOTS?

How does knowing one’s family history impact his/ her social beliefs,
cultural nuances and political choices?

9
 Lesson Norms and Patterns of
3 Behavior of Cultural, Social
and Political Institutions

What I Have Learned

As you recall from earlier modules, culture describes a group’s shared norms
(or acceptable behaviors) and values, whereas society describes a group of people
who live in a defined geographical area, and who interact with one another and
share a common culture. Social institutions are mechanisms or patterns of social
order focused on meeting social needs, such as government, economy, education,
family, healthcare, and religion.

What behavioral rules are in effect when you encounter an acquaintance at

school, work, or in the grocery store? Generally, we do not step back to consider all
of the intricacies of such normative rules. We may simply say ―Hello!‖ and ask,
―How was your weekend?‖ or offer some other trivial question meant to be a friendly
greeting. Rarely do we physically embrace or even touch the individual, and this is
often because in our culture we see this as the norm, or the standard of acceptable
social behavior. Only when confronted with a different norm do we begin to see
cultural differences or even understand that this everyday behavior is part of a
larger socialization process. In other cultures, not kissing and/or hugging could be
viewed as rude, but in the United States, we have fairly rigid rules about personal
space.

Activity 3- “WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?”

Directions: In this activity, you will list down the social norms and patterns of
behavior according to each specific context.

Family School Community

10
Guide Questions:

1. How will you differentiate the different social norms in each context?
How did you find out about these social norms?

2. How do these norms help keep our society functioning? How about if
we violate these norms?
3. Do you think these norms and patterns of behaviors depend on
environment, situation and culture? Explain.
4. How do norms and patterns of behavior affect our identity?

Cultural Norms
Norms are the agreed‐upon expectations and rules by which a culture guides the
behavior of its members in any given situation. Of course, norms vary widely across
cultural groups. Americans, for instance, maintain fairly direct eye contact when
conversing with others. Asians, on the other hand, may avert their eyes as a sign of
politeness and respect.

Sociologists speak of at least four types of norms: folkways, mores, taboos, and
laws. Folkways, sometimes known as ―conventions‖ or ―customs,‖ are standards of
behavior that are socially approved but not morally significant. For example,
belching loudly after eating dinner at someone else's home breaks an American
folkway. Mores are norms of morality. Breaking mores, like attending church in the
nude, will offend most people of a culture. Certain behaviors are considered taboo,
meaning a culture absolutely forbids them, like incest in U.S. culture. Finally, laws
are a formal body of rules enacted by the state and backed by the power of the
state. Virtually all taboos, like child abuse, are enacted into law, although not all
mores are. For example, wearing a bikini to church may be offensive, but it is not
against the law.
Members of a culture must conform to its norms for the culture to exist and
function. Hence, members must want to conform and obey rules. They first must
internalize the social norms and values that dictate what is ―normal‖ for the
culture; then they must socialize, or teach norms and values to, their children. If
internalization and socialization fail to produce conformity, some form of ―social
control‖ is eventually needed. Social control may take the form of ostracism, fines,
punishments, and even imprisonment.

Values & Norms

Values are abstract concepts that certain kinds of behaviors are good, right,
ethical, moral and therefore desirable. In the United States, one value is freedom;
another is equality. These values can come from a variety of sub-cultures or social
institutions. A society can have all of the values it wants, but if it doesn’t have a
way to enforce those values, then having values means nothing.
So, societies have developed forms of social control, which is the process people use
to maintain order in group life. There are two main categories of social control:
norms and laws. A norm is a standard of behavior. At some point people in the
society agree that these are standards. Some people learn by being taught, but
mostly we pick them up just by being exposed to them.

11
There are a couple of types of norms: folkways and mores. Folkways are norms
related to everyday life—eating with silverware, getting up in the morning and going
to work or school for example. There are also mores, which are behaviors that are
right or wrong…don’t kill people, don’t steal…

So, how do societies encourage compliance with norms and laws? There are
rewards and punishment. For instance, if you kill someone in our society, if you’re
caught, you go to trial and if found guilty, you go to prison, or you can be put to
death. We have developed specific jobs and organizations that carry out
enforcement of laws…police, court system, prison, military. These are official forms
of social control enforcement. Now these forms don’t have to be negative. Some are
positive…a good example would be something like a Citizen Hero award.
There is also informal enforcement of norms and laws. As with the official forms of
social control enforcement, the unofficial can be both positive and negative—giving
your child an allowance for completing chores is an example of positive
enforcement; spanking or time outs are examples of negative enforcement. Peer
pressure and religious doctrine are other informal methods of enforcement of both
norms and laws. Ostracism, or shunning, is yet another.
However, there are times when norm or even law violations don’t result in
punishment, but these types of violations are very specifically defined. For
instance, it is generally accepted that if you kill someone in self-defense or in a time
of war, the punishments do not apply.

Now, all of these norms and laws can be organized into a set of social institutions.
A social institution is a patterned set of behaviors developed to meet perceived
needs. This way people aren’t doing whatever they want whenever they want to
meet their needs. In US culture, we treasure independence, but that independence
must be exercised within the constructed social institutions. That’s not to say that
there aren’t people who go outside of these social constraints, they do. That is
actually important behavior in an evolutionary sense as it provides variation of
behaviors. It is those behaviors where social change is instigated.
