WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

In the previous lesson, the learners identified their social participation in primary and
secondary groups. They are now ready to be socially involved in bigger mainstream of
Institutions in the society. In this part of the lesson they will be able to learn and analyze about
functions of different social organizations that radically affects their cultural orientation.
Social organization is defined as the system of relationships between persons and
among groups with regard to the division of activity and functional mutual obligations within
society. The family serves as an important universal social institution. It is the basic unit of
social organization that is essential part of human society. There are several kinds of families:
nuclear (consist of parents and children), extended (nuclear family with relatives), and
reconstituted families (spouses and children from previous marriage). It is the basis of
kinship- a system of social organization which is based on recognized family ties. Kinship ties
is based on descent can be Matrilineal (female line), Patrilineal Kinship (male line), and
Bilineal kinship (both female and male lines).
-Kinship is of three types: Consanguineous kinship that is also known as a kinship by
blood, affinal kinship which is also known as kinship by marriage, and the kinship by ritual.
Affinal kinship, on the other hand refers to the bond that is formed through marriage. It can
be monogamous or polygamous. Monogamy means that a person is married to one person
only. Polygamy, on the other hand, means that a person has more than one spouse at a time.
-Kinship plays a huge role in the kind of society that we are living today. Its influences
affect our politics and economy. One example would be the existence of the political
dynasties .A dynasty refers to a succession of rulers from the same family or lineage. Political
organizations follow certain guidelines or regulations to ensure that political processes are
going smoothly.

-Authority – is the concept of right to issue and, using coercive power to enforce a
command.

 -Legitimacy – originated from the Latin word “legitimare”, meaning to declare, lawful”.
According to Weber, it is the basis of every system of authority, a willingness to obey, and a
belief by virtue of which persons exercising authority are lent prestige”
-Weber’s Theory of Authority is classified into three types:
Traditional Authority-is legitimated by sanctity of tradition or custom
Charismatic Authority-is authority made legitimate by a leader with a mission and
vision that inspires others.
Legal-Rational Authority-refers to a form of leadership made legitimate by legal
rationality. It legitimacy derived from the power of the content of law.
