A. Readings/Discussions

DIFFERENT FORMS OF SOCIETIES AND INDIVIDUALS

In the Philippines, life in the province is certainly different from life in the city. While
structures, technology, and transportation continue to boom in the cities, provinces remain to
be less industrialized, but rich in local produce and resources. As such, individuals who grew
up in cities develop as persons differently from those born in the provinces.

 How do these differing societies influence individuals?

 Find out the answer in this lesson!

Learn about it!

 Socioeconomic, technological, and environmental differences in societies may dictate

cultural differences among individuals. Because different types of societies exist, it is
also expected that there are various social differences among individuals as well.

Individuals and Societal Transformations

 Individuals are social animals who need society for food, protection, education, and
other forms of support. Meanwhile, a society is a collection of individuals shaped by
social relations and interactions…
 As such, individuals and society need each other to function properly. They have a
complementary relationship that is improved and influenced by culture and societal
institutions. In effect, societies and individuals all around the world develop varying
cultures and practices.

Examples:

 Many Filipino children still live with their parents even during adulthood .
 Paris is known as the center of fashion due to numerous designers that focused their
work in the city.

TYPES OF SOCIETIES AND INDIVIDUALS

 In learning about types of societies, it is important to know that classifications were

made by socioeconomic conditions and availability of resources. Nevertheless, these
classifications describe all currently existing models of societies.

TYPES OF SOCIETIES

Agrarian (Agricultural)

o It focuses on the production of crops and raising of farm animals.

o Women share the same type and mode of labor.
o It utilizes technological advances to cultivate crops.

Industrial (Modern Industrial)

o It introduced fuel-driven machinery in goods production.

o Factories are seen as the center of work.
o Transportation is more developed and advanced than agricultural societies.

Virtual (Post-Industrial)

o Professional services are offered in exchange for money.

o Technology is used in every aspect of life and work.
o It focuses on the production and selling of information.

Apart from these, some more types of societies include pastoral, hunting and gathering,
and feudal. However, these models no longer exist at present.

TYPES OF INDIVIDUALS IN SOCIETY

 The types of individuals in a society are dictated by socioeconomic conditions and

capability. Each individual belongs to a certain social class or group of people with
similar levels of wealth and status.

Lower Class

 experiences poverty, homelessness, and unemployment

 relatively higher in number in developing countries.

Working Class

 constitutes blue-collared workers (e.g. waiter, driver, salesperson)

 experiences low career opportunities and minimal wage

Middle Class

 consists of white-collaed workers (e.g. doctor, lawyer, engineer)

 able to survive life with relatively minimal difficulties
 typically provides professional services such as sources of income

Upper Class

 consists of individuals born into aristocratic families

 usually involves families with large businesses and ventures

DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETIES IN THE SOCIAL SYSTEM

 The social system denotes the whole society that is comprised of individuals and
institutions interacting within the same structure. Despite differences, in classifications,
all types of individuals and social models co-exist and interact within the social system.
 Different combinations between individuals and societal models may occur within the
system. As such, culture is developed through simultaneous societal interactions.

Examples:

 Individuals from the upper class may primarily live in agricultural settings due to the
nature of their family business (e.g. haciendero).
 Provinces near the Metro have an industrialized society and is primarily composed of
middle class workers.

Explore!

 As society continually rebuilt itself, vast changes occurred within the last 10 years. The
Philippines used to be an industrialized society, but with the sudden availability of
resources and opportunities, it was able to shift to a post-industrial social model.
 Alongside this, many middle class workers emerged since new professional positions
were developed, Looking at these advancements, what societal changes do you think
will occur within the next ten years?

Try it!

 Asses yourself and your society. In a sheet of paper, list down the socioeconomic
characteristics of your family, including the work of your parents, siblings, or extended
family members who live with you.
 Next, briefly list down the characteristics of your current environment and living
conditions. Using your learning from this lesson, try to determine which social class
you and your family belong to, as well as the type of society you live in.

What do you think?

 Is it possible for a nation not to have all the types of societies and individuals within
the social system? Why? Why not?

Tips

 Individuals from different social classes may interact with one another, however,
interaction does not change a person’s social class. An individual’s social group
changes only when his socioeconomic capabilities change.
 All individuals may fall under only one social class at any single point in time.
Meanwhile, people may encounter and live in different types of societies at the same
time (e.g. having two houses in different parts of the country).
 All types of societies and individuals fall under a social system. It is important
remember that a social system goes beyond the individual and society. It also includes
culture, institutions, and the interaction among these factors.

Keypoints

 Individuals are social animals who need society for food, protection, education, and
other forms of support.
 Society is a collection of individuals shaped by social relations and interactions.
 The types of societies evident at present are agrarian, industrial, and virtual.
 Meanwhile, societies such as pastoral, hunting and gathering, and feudal are not
existing anymore.
 Individuals fall under any one of the four social classes,
Namely: lower, working, middle and upper.
