Course Materials:

DISCUSSION:

WHAT IS SOCIETY?
● It is made up of individuals who have agreed to work together for mutual benefit.
● A group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group
sharing the same spatial or social territory, typically subject to the same political
authority and dominant cultural expectations.
● Philosopher Thomas Hobbes believed that without society, human life would be
"nasty, brutish and short." Man's natural state, he argued, would be to preserve only
oneself -- a man without society would steal another family's food, seduce other
men's wives and kill anyone who got in his way.
● Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau dubbed the set of rules that a society lives by
"the social contract." In other words, people must play a part in agreeing to certain
laws and in choosing a given leader. If people lose that right, then society won't
function as well.
● Coach Lombardi's area of expertise, a society without an agreed-upon code of
conduct would be like football without rules or a referee. People will cooperate and
commit to a society only as long as they can choose the person who mediates and
voice an opinion on the rules.

BYJU’S”

The Internet has only made our societies larger -- a person in Delaware, after all, can
now converse easily with a person in China. It will be interesting to see how technology
shapes society in the future.

WHAT IS A GENDER-EQUAL SOCIETY?


A "society in which both men and women, as equal members, have the opportunity to
participate in all kinds of social activities at will, equally enjoy political, economical and
cultural benefits, and share responsibilities."
In such a society, the human rights of men and women are equally respected.
Women who desire an active role in society may participate in activities of their own
choosing, while men could enjoy a fulfilling home and community life.

A gender-equal society is a society built by men and women as equal partners.

GENDER EQUALITY: NOW

The realization of a truly affluent society is dependent on the establishment of a


social framework that allows individuals to choose various lifestyles regardless of their
gender, and without being bound by such rigid, stereotyped gender roles that assume that
child rearing and nursing are exclusively women's duties, while men are the workers,
tax-payers and pension renderers who support the nation.

Society where men and women can participate together in politics, at the workplace
and at home, and lead exciting and fulfilling lives

Activities/Assessment:

Read the instructions carefully and do what is being stated.


1. Draw TWO boxes and write the word “Man” AND “WOMAN” on the top.
2. Have you ever heard someone say, “Be a man!” or “Act like a man,” “Be a lady” or
“act like a lady?” it is not necessarily what you believe but what you have heard from
your community, culture, media, and peers. As a student share your ideas and
stereotypes,
3. Write these words in the box. Once the box is full, or you have run out of ideas, what
someone might be called if they do not fit these stereotypes? Write these words
outside of the box.
