Dep: Bs-AVM-2 Roll No. 201046 Subject: Introduction to Sociology Presented to: Mam Mehreen Iftikhar Date: 2nd April, 2021 How society is shaped? Discuss the Social Institutions and units that make up the whole. Society: A society is a group of people engaged in endless social interaction, or a large social group that participates in the same place or society, usually under the same political authority and cultural expectations. Communities are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relationships) between people who share different cultures and institutions; a given society can be defined as the total amount of such a relationship between its members. Society-building features: 1) Politics 2) Education 3) Family 4) Religion 5) Economy Politics: Politics is defined as the process by which competition between individuals and groups, according to their interests, is used to exercise power and influence over the allocation of certain values and interests. It is a matter of deciding who gets what, when, and how to get to a given social order. It controls how much hard-earned money should be given to the government and how different governments use it to provide different groups with benefits, such as: education, roads, fire protection, subsidized health care, safe food, national security, and foreign aid. Education: Education is essential to building any democratic society. Education is needed to make a society more stable. Education leads to economic prosperity in global markets Education provides people with the information they need to make good leaders. Education helps to promote tolerance in society and helps to reduce common conflicts between different people in an urban area. Education has the potential to help communities, and the world at large, change for the better. According to Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world". Family: The family performs many important social functions. It pleases children, provides emotional and practical support for its members, helps control sexual function and sexual reproduction, and gives its members social identity. Family problems are caused by sudden or profound changes in family structure or processes; these problems threaten the stability of the family and weaken the society. Religion: Religion is the first concept of society. Your sense of society comes from the experience of others. When the religious feeling of the society and its true loyalty and integrity can be shattered when that society is like a castle of sand that cannot defend itself in an unforgettable sea. When religion is no longer social or non-existent, the state inherits the entire burden of social morality, crime and intolerance. He must then use the punishment and the police. However, this does not succeed as morality, integrity and self- respect that are not human, cannot be enforced by any great achievement. Economy: Economic conditions affect morals but also attitudes toward behavior. This means that satisfaction and well-being, satisfaction with the country's economic and social system and their perception of economic conditions become the subject of social behavior analysis. Research conducted in this area shows the link between satisfaction and income, which is related to job satisfaction, depending on income, opportunities to earn more money etc.
