 What’s New

Have you ever asked yourself how people have defined you? Or even think how
do the people that you meet everyday perceived you? And have you ever asked if your
presence has affected the world, the people around you or vice versa?

We meet so many people. We interact with them and even establish our
relationships with them. Building a relationship is not an easy task; there are things
we need to consider such as the person’s belief, norms and values that possibly are
way different to us. Despite the differences, we still established relationships with
them.

ACTIVITY 1

 What is It

An old saying “No man is an Island” is a proof that there is no

human person that exists only for themselves. Humans existed
as they need one another, despite the people’s differences. During
the early period, human beings socialize for their survival, long
ago before our existence a person can be categorized as a social
being. People tend to open up themselves to form a relationship
that is formulated based on shared experiences to form a bond
with one another and these very relationships shape them to be the person that they
are today.

As human being live their lives and experience many things; there will come a
point in time that they will widen their networks, they will not just limit their selves
to their immediate family but rather to other people as well. These changes will lead
to an opportunity of meeting new people with same interests, people who guide and
people who care.

What is Society?
One of the capabilities of the human beings
that are way similar with animals is their
capabilities in expanding their networks that can
lead in establishing groups. Animals form their
group for protection and safety which is also
proven for the human beings, however as we
talked about society the very main difference of
man and animal is that only humans are capable of establishing a society.

Based on Abella (2016) society can be defined as the following:

• An organized group of people whose members interact frequently and have a

common territory and culture.
• A companionship or friendly association with others, an alliance, a community
or union.
• The product of deliberate actions by individuals who come together in the
pursuit of the common goal.
• Can make possible the emergence of certain individualities.
• Provide opportunities to further growth in coming yours.

How individuals are transformed by societies?

Though human being forms a society, this society can also transform individual
persons. Transformation made within society is based on their interactions within
the society, and as a product of social influence it helps to attain development, and
makes improvements in their living.

7
 Society as defined by Abella (2016) can make possible the emergence of certain
individualities. As people in the society get along with one another, a development of
new personalities and beliefs is made possible. People communicate, relate and help
one another in a society and as nature, the survival of human being is rooted on how
individual relates to one another.
The following illustration will show how individual transformed societies and vice
versa:
1. Survival. Relating to one another and benefitting from one another can mean
survival. For example, an infant is dependent to his family, imagine if a family
does not exist, no one will care for the infant and as end result infant will
eventually die.
2. Life outside home. Part of human life is growing and as individual grows
his/her networks expand as well; he/she creates friendships in school or at
the workplace they are no longer bounded within their family.
3. Support for development. Education is one of the best examples that shows
how society supports development. Education was first learnt at home and
later on enters a formal education. As learning continues, this will also further
develop people skills and abilities.
4. Specific traits and unique characteristics. Since society is formed by its
members called human beings, their formation equates on the creation of
shared traits and characteristics that is only unique on them. For example,
Filipinos valued their family members and “strong family ties” is very evident
to us.

ACTIVITY 2.
Your Contribution
On the puzzle, write the different things which you think the society has
contributed on you.

The Social Contract Theory

As we are dealing with society, social contract theory will give us the concept on
how society was formed. Abella (2016) explained that during the Enlightenment,
social philosophers pondered the natural laws that govern human societies, and in
their discussions several philosophers put forth their theories regarding the
formation of societies.

Let us determine the different philosophers who believe that society was formed
in different reasons:

1. THOMAS HOBBES- governed by the desires and these often lead to conflict
with their fellowmen. (Abella, 2016)
2. JOHN LOCKE- considered persons to be more cooperative and reasonable,
and that society is formed through the consent of the individuals that
organized it. (Abella, 2016)
3. JEAN JACQUE ROUSSEAU- advocates concept of “general will”. Empowered
government to act on their behalf. (Abella, 2016)
4. JOHN RAWLS- redefined the social contract and explained that human
being’s approach social cooperation in a rational manner in order to meet their
individual self-interests. (Abella, 2016)
5. DAVID GAUTHIER- described people’s self-interest as a significant factor in
building and maintaining societies. (Abella, 2016)

Abella (2016) added that it was important to note that society is founded on the
concept of the common good and that philosophers who discussed the origins of
society traced the emergence of society to the human desire to achieve the goal of
survival. He also elaborates that apart from this, human beings are compelled to
come together, establish relationships with each other, and work together as a united
group because of natural desire for goodness.

10
 What I Have Learned

1. Society was brought by the human desire to relate with others. It is considered
a product of deliberate actions by individuals who come together in pursuit of a
common goal.

2. Society greatly influences the individual, as it determines to a certain extent a

person’s identity. Society makes possible the emergence of certain
individualities, which are the result of the person’s interaction with other
members of society.

3. Philosophers consider society as a product of the “social contract”, where

individuals decide to sacrifice personal interest and submit to a higher authority.
Society is also rooted in the concepts of the common good and general welfare,
which refers to social conditions that enable persons and groups to fulfill their
goals and achieve well-being.

What I Can Do

Answer the following guide questions:

1. Illustrate the different factors or influences that you think drove human
beings to establish societies.

2. Among the groups that you have interacted with regularly, discuss how they
influence you as a person?

Facilitator will instruct the students to answer the given question
before proceeding to the new lesson!

13
 Did you make it? Great job! We can now move
forward to your new lesson!

What’s New

As we continue our discussion about society, we will also be dealing with the
development of societies. History will show the development of humankind from the
basic up to present. Ever asked why changes and development occur? Societal
development occurs in response to changes that are happening on the surroundings.
Humans always focus on their survival and protection and as a response they will
always seek for development and improvement in order to survive.

Who and what we are today is the product of the development and changes
throughout our society. The modern technology that we have today and the comfort
we are experiencing nowadays is a product of societal development.

ACTIVITY 1

Word Hunt
Find words that are associated with our lesson for today.

14
 On our previous activity you found words that are related with societies and
individualities, its growth and development and how it impacts the human person
roles and his or her daily life.

What is It

What are the different forms of societies?

Based on Abella (2016) there are various forms of societies that emerged include
the following:

1. Hunting and Gathering Society

This recognized as the earliest and simplest
form of society. It is generally characterized by its
small size and is composed mainly of families.
They are nomadic because they spend most of
their time searching for food, thus have no
permanent territory. The hierarchy in this type of
society is not very varied. Its members are
generally treated equally and decisions are usually
arrived at through a consensus. Roles of its members and the division of labor
are not clearly defined. (Abella 2016)

2. Pastoral Society
This type of society is characterized by the
domestication of animals for food or more stable
and predictable food supply. Pastoral
communities have larger populations than
hunting and gathering societies and remain
longer in one place. Pastoral societies often
produce surplus food and resources, which they
trade with other societies. This relative prosperity
enables the people to engage in other activities apart from those necessary for
survival, such as handicrafts. This eventually leads the emergence of specialized
tasks in the community. (Abella 2016)

15
3. Horticultural Society
This engages in the small-scale cultivation of
plants, fruits and vegetables and the domestication
of animals. This type of society is semi-nomadic,
which means that they travel to another place when
they have already depleted the resources in one
area. In this society, roles and responsibilities are
more clearly defined with many tasks assigned
according to gender. There is a surplus of goods, which sometimes leads to
equalities among its members. Family-and clan-oriented, and occupations were
restricted by tradition. (Abella 2016)

4. Agrarian Or Agricultural Society

This type of society is a further evolution of the
pastoral and horticultural societies. Agriculture
involves the large-scale and long-term cultivation
of crops and domestication of animals. Improved
technology and the used tools to aid in farming are
also evident on this period. Increased production,
giving rise to a growing population in agricultural
societies can be also seen. The large population of
agricultural societies leads to a more structured
social system that helps manage resources and its members. The increasingly
complex social organization and growing importance of territory often results in
conflicts among neighboring societies over resources and land. (Abella 2016)

5. Feudal Society
It is based on the ownership of land. Members
of the society are organized based on status.
Those who own land are considered the most
powerful and influential members of society,
while peasants are considered the lowest group.
Give rise to individuals who value relations
among family members and with the other
members in the community. People are often very mindful of the hierarchy. They
are often traditional and are resistant to social change, preferring to maintain
the way things are in their community. (Abella 2016)

6. Industrial Society
This type of society is based on the use of
specialized machinery in the production of goods
and services. Industrial societies are often
defined by the nature of work and the prevailing
industry in the area. The capitalists or business
owners are considered the most influential. This
type of society is also characterized by cultural

16
 diversity and the presence of bureaucratic forms of organization. Alienation is
common in industrial societies, as people are often seen as resources to be
exploited. (Abella 2016)

7. Post-Industrial Society
This society is based on knowledge, information and
the sale of services. Members of this society have higher
educational attainment, better training, and specialized
roles. The virtual society is the product of post-
industrial society, where people organize themselves
through communication technology and the internet, it
is a product of post-industrial society. (Abella 2016)

How does society influence our development as persons?

As we grow in Philippine society, and being a Filipino we have our very distinct
culture. Our traits, traditions and culture make as unique among other society.
Abella (2016), said that the person and the society have a very dynamic relationship
in which one cannot exist without the other. Society will never exist without human
beings, and human beings can no longer survive if they fail to create their own
society. Based on this statement, it is true enough to say that society is responsible
for the growth and development of a person and on the other hand human being is
responsible for transforming society.

There are different Social Scientists and Psychologists who believe that human
development has been affected by various influences from the society. From the
society that we belong to, people learn to adopt on its culture, identity, values, ideas,
and knowledge of the group of people and the community around them.

Society influences our development as persons in various ways, here are some
factors that can influence us:

1. Norms- which are set of traits and behavior that

society considers acceptable and are, thus encourage
and passed on to other members. (Abella, 2016)

2. Laws- more formal and stringent norms that establish

and define acceptable behavior of the citizen. (Abella,
2016)

3. Folkways- are less formal norms that arise from

tradition and do not result in punishment when violated.
(Abella, 2016)

4. Social values- are actions or ideals that are

considered important by society. (Abella, 2016)

17
 To give emphasis, according to Abella (2016) that norms, laws and other rules
that regulate human interactions give rise to a social system, which is an organized
or patterned set of relationships among individuals and groups that compose of a
society. Like in our current situation, each member in the society plays an important
role or also known as social roles, which defined as the actions and behaviors
expected from the member of the society. Once an individual was distinguished based
from his/her background or roles, he/she will later on be grouped on individuals
with same background and roles thus, the creation of social groups or classes.
Classified social groups that perform vital functions are called social institution.
From the structure created, we can see that society allows human to relate with one
another for a better transformation.

ACTIVITY 2
My Society and its Contribution to Me!
Reflect on how your society benefits you today. Choose at least three type of societies
and copy the table below and complete it by writing the required information.

Society Short description of the How it benefits me today?

society

Answer the following guide questions:

1. What significant changes have you noticed in your relationships with others
throughout your life?

2. What role did society play in these changes?

18
 What’s More

Society greatly influences human development, but regardless of those

influences, humans are still capable of determining who they really are in which they
can still be free to do the things that they want to. For example, others believe that
once you came from a poor family you will die poor, meaning you cannot do anything
for yourself. You may grow up in the slums or squatter areas but it does not mean
that you will live there forever, by showing determination and extra effort in life you
still have the opportunity to develop yourself for a better version.

One good thing about society is that it helps in recognizing the competence of the
person and develops it by providing its members an avenue to make themselves
better. And based on Abella (2016), the social movement which is a large-scale action
done by various groups can help in the pursuit of the common goal. Society is for
the people and people are for the society, each one contributes on its greater success.

1. Various forms of society have emerged throughout

human history. These societies have given rise to
specific individualities that were defined by the
nature of human relations prevalent within those
societies.
2. Apart from defining individualities, society also
influences the person by defining the relationships
and interactions that its members can engage in.
Society can define relationships and interactions among its members through
norms, the establishment of a social system, and by upholding social values.
3. Society provides opportunities for its members to grow and achieve well-
adjusted and productive members that can make significant contributions to
society. In turn, individuals uphold the common good and work to bring about
positive changes in society.
