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 investment capital, improved means of transportation,
communication, and growing interest taken by scientific and commercial circles
in technology and engineering.

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
 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.

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

gathering of 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 huntergatherers 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
Society rely 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

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
Society other 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 Society These societies contained a strict hierarchical system of
power 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
Society to 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.

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
 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 and services.

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).

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 lawmaking 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.

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

11

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
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 dayto-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.

https://www.economicshelp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ 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
oldage 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

12

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
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

13

LU_Introduction to Philosophy_Module7
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).
