HOW DOES SOCIETY

INFLUENCE OUR
DEVELOPMENT AS
PERSON’S
 What makes us Filipino?Being born in the Philippines
is not our choice ,but as we grow up in Philippine
society,we begin to adopt the traits,traditions, and
characteristics that distinguish Filipino culture. We learn
to speak our mother languages through our interactions
with family members and other members of society. It is
also through our interactions with family members and
other members of society. It is also through our
interactions with other individuals and institutions that
we learn how to behave appropriately , what beliefs and
tradition to practice, and what ideas and perspectives to
consider acceptable. All these come together to define
our identity not only as person’s,but as members of
Philippine society.
 It can be said that you cannot think of a person
outside of society and you cannot think of a society
without persons . The person and the society have
a very dynamic relationship in which one cannot
exist without the other. Because of this reality, it is
important to consider society’s role in the growth
and development of a person, and the persons role
in transforming society .
 Society influences our development as
person’s in various ways. Society is the backdrop
by which we adopt the prevailing
culture,identity,values,ideas and knowledge of the
persons,groups ,and communities that surround
us. Think of the various groups and institutions in
society that have contributed to your identity as a
person.
 An important way society influences us a persons
is its ability to define the relationships and
interaction among its members . Society influences
the interactions of its members through the
establishment of norms, which are a set of traits and
behavior that society considers acceptable,and are
thus the encouraged and passed on to other
members.
