different social organizations that radically affects their cultural orientation.

Social organization is defined as the system of relationships between persons and among groups with regard to the division of activity and
functional mutual obligations within society. The family serves as an important universal social institution. It is the basic unit of social organization
that is essential part of human society. There are several kinds of families: nuclear (consist of parents and children), extended (nuclear family with
relatives), and reconstituted families (spouses and children from previous marriage). It is the basis of kinship- a system of social organization which
is based on recognized family ties. Kinship ties is based on descent can be Matrilineal (female line), Patrilineal Kinship (male line), and Bilineal
kinship (both female and male lines).

-Kinship is of three types: Consanguineous kinship that is also known as a kinship by blood, affinal kinship which is also known as
kinship by marriage, and the kinship by ritual. Affinal kinship, on the other hand refers to the bond that is formed through marriage. It can be
monogamous or polygamous. Monogamy means that a person is married to one person only. Polygamy, on the other hand, means that a person has
more than one spouse at a time.

-Kinship plays a huge role in the kind of society that we are living today. Its influences affect our politics and economy. One example
would be the existence of the political dynasties .A dynasty refers to a succession of rulers from the same family or lineage. Political organizations
follow certain guidelines or regulations to ensure that political processes are going smoothly.

-Authority – is the concept of right to issue and, using coercive power to enforce a command.

-Legitimacy – originated from the Latin word “legitimare”, meaning to declare, lawful”. According to Weber, it is the basis of every
system of authority, a willingness to obey, and a belief by virtue of which persons exercising authority are lent prestige”.

-Weber’s Theory of Authority is classified into three types:

Traditional Authority-is legitimated by sanctity of tradition or custom.

Charismatic Authority-is authority made legitimate by a leader with a mission and vision that inspires others.

Legal-Rational Authority-refers to a form of leadership made legitimate by legal rationality. It legitimacy derived from the power of the
content of law.
