Society

Discover

A society, or a human society, is a group of people involved with each other

through persistent relations, or a large social grouping sharing the same
geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and
dominant cultural expectations. Human societies are characterized by patterns of
relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture
and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum of such relationships
among its constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces
stratification and/or dominance patterns in subgroups.
A society can also consist of like-minded people governed by their own norms
and values within a dominant, larger society. More broadly, a society may be
illustrated as an economic, social, or industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied
collection of individuals.
Members of a society may be from different ethnic groups. A society can be a
particular ethnic group, such as the Saxons; a nation state, such as Bhutan; or a
broader cultural group, such as a Western society.
The word society may also refer to an organized voluntary association of people
for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes.
A "society" may even, though more by means of metaphor, refer to a social
organism such as an ant colony or any cooperative aggregate such as, for example,
in some formulations of artificial intelligence.
What does it mean to be a member of a community, to “belong” to the society
in which you live? The information superhighway that we know today gives more
focus on computer hardware, software, and systems in terms of contribution to
society as the basic tools enabling fast and efficient transfer of information. Before
personal computers were mainly used for word processing. Nowadays the emergence
of portable computers enables many people to transact business everywhere.
According to Soren Kierkegaard rather than being ourselves, we tend to
conform to an image or idea associated with being a certain type of person. For
example, if we create the people we want to be or the ideal versions of ourselves in
our Facebook profiles, then we conform to pattern. To the extent that we do see
others and ourselves with generalizations; not recognizing existing individuals. For
him we are reduced to mediocrity. Our modern age remains an era of increasing
dullness, conformity, and lack of genuine individuals. (Socio 2007)
Life was much simpler before. One begins to comprehend how technology
evolved. From medieval facts crafts to the Industrial Revolution that was dominated
by factors such as revolutionary discoveries in natural sciences, detection, and
extraction of energy resources, invention of mechanical devices, availability of

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
investment capital, improved means of transportation, communication, and growing
interest taken by scientific and commercial circles in technology and engineering.
Philosophically, our totality wholeness or complete life relies on our social
relations. Aristotle said that friends are two bodies with one soul. Mutual sharing,
acceptance, and sincerity that Carol encourage are akin with the outlooks of Karol
Wojtyla’s We-You/I-You and Martin Bubers I-Thou relations.
Social relationships tend to be less intimate, with lesser self-disclosure
involved, but may still be exclusive, and may demand levels of loyalty. It is human
nature to relate with people. It is our way of making connections that satisfy an
important need: sense of belonging, acceptance, and affiliation. You will encounter
many different groups as you expand your social network. Our social relationships,
although dictated to a certain extent by our neutral reflexes, are also affected by
other factors such as social influence.

Forms of Social Influence

1. Conformity- is the act of adjusting your behavior, opinions, or beliefs to
agree with the prevailing norm or standard.
Why do people conform?
1. To be accepted
2. To avoid social disapproval, ridicule, or rejection
3. To satisfy the need for approval from others are likely anxious or have
o low self- esteem.
4. By conforming you get a sense of security that you are one to the
group. Conformity gives you a safety net.
In a positive way conformity fosters group cohesiveness. It makes the
members united in achieving goals.

2. Compliance - Occurs when individual gives in or agrees with the other

person or group, even if one holds a different opinion about the person or situation.
Unlike conformity wherein the person adjusts or changes attitudes and beliefs, the
person who is complying adapts to the actions or rules of another but does not
necessarily mean that the person agreed or has changed.
3. Identification- This takes place when a respectable, famous, or well-liked
person exerts great influence on others. The people follow the ways of the popular
figure.

Societies and Characteristics

Discover

Society can be understood, following the German sociologist Franz

Oppenheirmer (1992, xiv) as referring to the totality of all natural relations and
institutions between man and man. The size and scope of a society differs. A small
group of academic scholars, for instance, can be called a society; while we also speak
of society, classified according to geographical location, culture, ethnicity, belief
system or religion, political ideology, and type of economy, among others. The basis
of classification usually corresponds to the common features of the members in a
society. Consequently, societies can overlap, such as when religious societies and
ethnic societies exist in one geographical society, which explains why it is natural for
a human individual to be a member of a different societies at the same time. in each
kind of society that he/she is a part of, the human person plays a set of roles, the
totality of which defines his//her social identity. In what follows, we shall examine
the kinds of society based on the primary means of subsistence of resources of life’s
necessities.

Kinds of Societies
Kinds of
Characteristics
Societies
1. Hunting and Demonstrate the strongest dependence on the environment of
gathering the various types of preindustrial societies. As the basic
society structure of human society until about 10,000–12,000 years
ago, these groups were based around kinship or tribes.
Hunter-gatherers relied on their surroundings for survival—
they hunted wild animals and foraged for uncultivated plants
for food. When resources became scarce, the group moved to a
new area to find sustenance, meaning they were nomadic.
These societies were common until several hundred years ago,
but today only a few hundred remain in existence, such as
indigenous Australian tribes sometimes referred to as
“aborigines,” or the Bambuti, a group of pygmy hunter-
gatherers residing in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Hunter-gatherer groups are quickly disappearing as the
world’s population explodes.
2. Pastoral Changing conditions and adaptations led some societies to rely
Society on the domestication of animals where circumstances
permitted. Roughly 7,500 years ago, human societies began to
recognize their ability to tame and breed animals and to grow

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
 and cultivate their own plants. Pastoral, societies remained
nomadic because they were forced to follow their animals to
fresh feeding grounds.
3. Horticultural Horticultural societies formed in areas where rainfall and other
Society conditions allowed them to grow stable crops. They were like
hunter-gatherers in that they largely depended on the
environment for survival, but since they didn’t have to
abandon their location to follow resources, they were able to
start permanent settlements. This created more stability and
more material goods and became the basis for the first
revolution in human survival.
4. Agricultural This form of society grows rice and other crops. They also
society began to farm and raise animals for food. They lived
permanently and improved the technology for farming. Money
became a form of exchange for goods and services.
5. Feudal These societies contained a strict hierarchical system of power
Society based around land ownership and protection. The nobility,
known as lords, placed vassals in charge of pieces of land. In
return for the resources that the land provided, vassals
promised to fight for their lords. These individual pieces of
land, known as fiefdoms, were cultivated by the lower class. In
return for maintaining the land, peasants were guaranteed a
place to live and protection from outside enemies. Power was
handed down through family lines, with peasant families
serving lords for generations and generations. Ultimately, the
social and economic system of feudalism failed and was
replaced by capitalism and the technological advances of the
industrial era.
6. Industrial Industrial society refers to a society driven using technology to
Society enable mass production, supporting a large population with a
high capacity for division of labor. Industrial society is
characterized using external energy sources, such as fossil
fuels, to increase the rate and scale of production. The
production of food is shifted to large commercial farms where
the products of industry, such as combine harvesters and
fossil fuel-based fertilizers, are used to decrease required
human labor while increasing production. No longer needed to
produce food, excess labor is moved into factories where
mechanization is utilized to further increase efficiency.
7. Post- Information societies, sometimes known as postindustrial or
Industrial digital societies, are a recent development. Unlike industrial
societies that are rooted in the production of material goods,
information societies are based on the production of
information. The introduction of new inventions in science
eventually led to the industrial revolution in the 18th century.
Industrial revolution is a movement in which machines change
people’s way of life as well as their methods of manufacture. n

 How Human Relations are
Lesson
3 Transformed by Social
Systems.

Discover

Humans are the most social species in our planet and that's why almost all
human related aspects are influenced by our society and social system. Social
transformation refers to the process of change in institutionalized relationships,
norms, values, and hierarchies over time. It is the way society changes due to
economic growth, science, technological innovations, and war or political upheavals.
Social transformation affects people’s interactions and lifestyle. Regarding
individuals, social transformation refers to the process of altering the social status
of one’s parents to resemble their status.
Technology affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It
helps society and determines how people interact with each other daily. Technology
plays an important role in society today. It has positive and negative effects on the
world, and it impacts daily lives. Technology plays an essential and important role
in industrial and developing countries. Technology has affected almost all walk of
human life such as education and social life. It has drastically changed the cultural
norms and behavior of individuals. The more society is influenced by technology the
more we need to consider the social, ethical, and technological and scientific aspects
of each decision and choice (German 2000).

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
 The Philippine government takes place in an organized framework of a
presidential, representative, and democratic republic whereby the president is both
the head of state and the head of government. This system revolves around three
separate and sovereign yet interdependent branches: the legislative branch (the law-
making body), the executive branch (the law-enforcing body), and the judicial branch
(the law-interpreting body). Executive power is exercised by the government under
the leadership of the president. Legislative power is vested in both the government
and the two-chamber congress—the Senate (the upper chamber) and the House of
Representatives (the lower chamber). Judicial power is vested in the courts with the
Supreme Court of the Philippines as the highest judicial body.

https://www.philembassy.no/the-philippine-government

Politics in the Philippines has traditionally been dominated by clans and

political bosses and patronage and is characterized by law makers that make
decisions based on fiscal incentives rather that beliefs and voters that make choices
based on personality rather than reasoned policies. Under the traditional utang na
loob system of patronage, or obligation earned through favors, voters expect money
or jobs in return for their political support. In many cases politician’s performance
was based on dole-outs not on programs or policies. Philippine concepts about debt
repayment and kinship responsibilities plays a major role in how political networks
are set up and run. The Philippines is known for its rough-and-tumble political
scene. Politicians are routinely killed and sometimes they even do the do the killing
themselves. Every now and then it seems the entire country is on the verge of collapse
because of a coup attempt, People Power protest or impeachment effort. On the day-
to-day level, politicians are unable to achieve many of their goals and carry out
programs they proposed due to political opposition, mainly from the ruling elite.
An economic system is a means by which societies or governments organize
and distribute available resources, services, and goods across a geographic region or
country. Economic systems regulate the factors of production, including land,
capital, labor, and physical resources. An economic system encompasses many
institutions, agencies, entities, decision-making processes, and patterns of
consumption that comprise the economic structure of a given community.
Economics can be used to fight poverty by implementing the right economic policies.
Economic growth means an increase in real GDP – this leads to higher output and
higher average incomes. The benefits of high economic growth are higher incomes,
improved government finances, Increase life-expectancy, reduced poverty, better
education.

benefits-growth.png

But if we have a slower rate of economic growth – living standards will increase
at a slower rate.
The effects of slower economic growth could include:
1. Slower increase in living standards – inequality may become more
noticeable to those on lower incomes.
2. Less tax revenue than expected to spend on public services.
3. Increased government borrowing – e.g. if demand for medical care and old-
age pensions is growing faster than the low rate of economic growth.
4. Possible unemployment if growth is insufficient to create new jobs
displaced by technology
5. Lower inflation rates
6. Less strain on environmental resources than expected.
Governments often try to increase the growth rate because it will have various
advantages. The politicians must translate the research into action from instigating
appropriate plug-ins. There is a need to ascertain explicit programs that can assuage
poverty, ranging from low-cost medical treatments to innovative education programs.
We need to examine the causes of unemployment, absenteeism in education, social
programs, and other issues. The Philippines has a mixed economic system which
includes a variety of private freedom, combined with centralized economic planning
and government regulation. The Philippines' economy is considered as one of the
most dynamic economies in East Asia and the Pacific. The Philippines is a country
located in Southeast Asia comprised of more than 7,000 islands. Poverty has proven
to be one of the most significant challenges facing this country and its citizens.
Filipinos are having a hard time surviving in such difficult conditions, and more and
more are falling into extreme poverty. According to the Asian Development Bank, the
major causes of poverty include low economic growth, a weak agricultural sector,
increased population rates and a high volume of inequality. Because of these factors,
there are a lot of effects of poverty in the Philippines that make it difficult for people
to live in such circumstances. These are the inability to afford housing, malnutrition,
Crime and Thievery, child labor, prostitution and many more.

The Build! Build! Build! (BBB) Program is the centerpiece program of the
Duterte administration that aims to usher the “Golden age of infrastructure” in the
Philippines. Lack of infrastructure has long been cited as the “Achilles’ heel” of
Philippine economic development. To sustain inclusive economic growth, generate
new jobs, and improve the quality of life in both urban and rural communities is the
goal. Compared to other countries in the region, lack of infrastructure has long been
cited as the "Achilles' heel" of Philippine economic development. Statistics show that
from the time of Ferdinand Marcos to Benigno Simeon Aquino 3rd, the country's
infrastructure spending-to-Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio just averaged at 2.6
percent of GDP. From 2001 to 2010, the average infrastructure budget was only 1.6
percent or P100.3 billion, while from 2011 to 2016 it was 3 percent or P378.3 billion.
Upon his assumption of office in 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte changed the tempo
of infrastructure spending by raising it, doubling the budget from the immediate past
administration. On his State of the Nation Address in 2017, President Rodrigo
Duterte announced the government's plan to make his entire years in office and
beyond as the "Golden Age of Infrastructure" and to build as many structures as
possible to improve mobility and connectivity, which in turn would spur economic
growth around the country. The BBB Program seeks to accelerate public
infrastructure expenditure from an average of 2.9 percent of gross domestic product
(GDP) during the Aquino regime to about 7.3 percent at the end of the Duterte
administration. This will cost around P8 trillion to P9 trillion from 2016 to 2022 to
address the huge infrastructure backlog in the country. The program, called "Build,
Build, Build" aims to sustain inclusive economic growth, generate new jobs, and
improve the quality of life in both urban and rural communities as outlined in the
Philippine Development Plan of the National Economic Development Authority
(NEDA).
