PHILIPPINE SCHOOLS ROLE OF SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS

 REPRODUCTION

 SENSE OF PURPOSE
 PRESERVATION OF SOCIAL
 ORDER TRANSMISSION OF CULTURE
 PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

REPRODUCTION

 The institutions reproduce human race, goods, services, traditions


and all other patterns of social life. Human race is reproduced in
family. Material goods and services are produced and distributed
by economic institutions. Power and authority and status and role
are produced and enforced by the political institutions. The
religious institutions’ products are rituals, values, beliefs and
ceremonies. Educational institutions provide different techniques
and ways of living for the people.

SOCIALIZATION

 All the institutions preserve social norms by transmitting them to


the people participating in them. The process of socialization
starts from birth and continues up to the end of life. Man is
always in learning process. The learning of the ways of life in
social groups is called’ socialization. Or the inducting of man into
social life is. Socialization. This process goes on through the
institutions because man lives in them. He learns norms of social
life only in the institutions. Family teaches the elementary norms
called folkways. The neighborhood teaches mores and
educational institutions guide in legal courses of social life. The
bazars and markets guide us in economic dealing. The religious
institutions help us in the normative social life of a religion

SENSE OF PURPOSE

 Every institution is established for the fulfillment of a special


purpose. Harvard University provide quality education. Hamdard
Dawakhana prepares unani medicines only. Pak-Arab Fertilizer
Factory, Multan provides fertilizer to the peasants. Hospitals
provide heath facility to the community. Similarly, religious
institutions impart religious education to the students. It means
social institutions fulfill fixed needs of the people and continue
their respective aims.

PRESERVATION OF SOCIAL ORDER

 The main aim of human Societies is to maintain control and order.


This aim can be achieved by creating an organization among the
institutions. An institution cannot function alone without
cooperation and association of other institutions. This
dependence among them is called organization. But this
dependence among the institutions tie them together in the bond
of mutual relationship. This mutual relationship among the social
institutions is social structure called “Tangency of Institutions”.
The institutions when organized together create the condition of
control and order among the societies. This order and control has
its relationship with social solidarity. The social structure which is
organized and in order, creates social solidarity and stability in
society and the government Political institutions, specially are
assigned this function of social order and control.

TRANSMISSION OF CULTURE

 All the institutions are embodiments of cultural configuration.


This store of culture remains dead if not transmitted with a
change. Every generation adds something into it from its
experience while passing on to the next generation. The process
of transmission is completed by formal and informal education
through various social institutions. Even the market places play
this role. The mosque, the bus journey, the marriage customs, the
labor service and the administration of the public affairs, all are
transmitting institutions of cultural traits.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

 The institutions shape personalities of the individuals. A child born


to an Indian or Pakistani family if socialized in America will display
American personality traits in him after 1 to 10 years of life. It
means personality is not a biological process. It is a social process
and depends upon the institutions which socialize it. Personality
develops in the institutions which socialize it. The nature and
characteristics of social institutions reacts in the personality of the
individual which socialize them. Institutions are the organs of
society and shape it in the way in which they are interrelated.
Ideas, habits, attitudes and feelings being the parts of personality
develop in various social institutions in which the individual lives.
