Abstraction ( Discussion of the topics)

Society– It is an organized group of people whose members

interact frequently and have a common territory and culture.
Society also refers to a companionship or friendly association with
others , an alliance , a community, or a union

 Philosophers consider society the product of deliberate actions by
Individuals who come together in pursuit of a common goal. Society
Is considered unique among all other group because of the nature
of the human persons that compose it, as well as the relationship
its members. As individual persons, member of society are able to
transform themselves and attain development through their
interactions within society . In turn, humans are also able to
influence society through their actions.
Enlightenment Philosophers and their Philosophical
Perspectives
1. Thomas Hobbes– He believed that person in their natural states
are governed by their desires and these often lead to conflict with
their fellowmen. Society, therefore , is the means by which people
seek to control their natural tendencies and impose order,
individuals who establish societies enter to into a “ social
contract ” an agreement where individuals sacrifice an amount
of their freedom and submit to a higher authority .
2. John Locke– Proposed his own ideas on the social contract with
a different assumption . He considered persons in their natural
states as more cooperate and reasonable, and that society is
formed through the consent of the individuals that organized it.
This is known as the consent of the governed.
3. Jean Jacques Rosseau’s- Ideas on the social contract led him to
advocate the concept of the “ general will ” He believed that even if
the people are the ones who organized society and established an
authority or government , in extreme cases, the government is able
to impose its will on the people.
4. John Rawls– Redefined the social contract and explained that
human beings approach social cooperation in a rational manner
in order to meet their individual self-interests. He introduced a
version of the natural state which called the original position to
explain social formation.
5. David Gauthier— He described people’s self –interest as a
significant factor in building and maintaining societies. People
choose to cooperate since it is beneficial to meet their self-
interest . But this selfish interest benefits society as a whole,
since the actions of individuals in meeting their needs also
further the interest of the other members of society.

Different Types / Forms of Society
1. Hunting and Gathering Society -This form of society is
recognized as the earliest and the simplest; basically small and
composed mostly of families. They are nomadic, meaning, they

hunt large animals while women are tasked in the collection
of vegetables and other crops.
2.Pastoral Society- This form of society is characterized by the
raising (alaga) of animals to supply their food especially in the
regions of the world where vegetable growing is not possible.
They also engage. in buying and selling of goods with other
groups.

crops. They also began to farm and raise animals for food. They

Abstraction ( Discussion of the Topic )
The virtual society is where the people organize themselves
through communication technology and the internet. ( internet is a
product of post-industrial society.) Individuals in a virtual society
often engage in complex relationships. They often have fluid identities
and do not necessarily subscribe to certain norms or established
standards of behavior. The freedom allowed in virtual worlds means
that a person is able to engage in various activities , as well as access
various kinds of information.
How does society influence our development as person?
1. The person and the society have a very dynamic
relationship in which one cannot exist without the other.
Because of this reality, it is important to consider society’s role
in the growth and development of a person , and the person’s
role in transforming society.
3 4
2. Society influences our development as persons in various
ways. Society is the backdrop by which we adopt the prevailing
culture, identity , values , ideas, and knowledge of the persons,
groups, and communities that surround us.
3. Society also transforms human relations, which leads to the
transformation of its members- The historical development of
society has brought about significant changes in the way
human being relate to each other. Early societies were initially
centered on the family and the clan. But the emergence of
industrial societies transformed human relations, as
interactions were no longer based only on family and
community ties. But also interactions in the workplace. Virtual
societies have brought about another great transformation in
human relations. As improved communication technologies
make it possible for people from faraway places to interact
closely with each other. Today’s modern society enables
various people from diverse backgrounds and varied societies to
interact and establish close ties which each other.
Terms that we need to remember…
Folkways- Less formal norms that arise from tradition and do not
result in punishment when violated.
Laws– More formal and stringent norms that establish and define
acceptable behavior of citizens.
Norms– Set of traits and behavior that society considers
acceptable , and are thus encouraged and passed on to other.
Social contract– An agreement where individuals sacrifice an
amount of their freedom and submit to a higher authority.
Social role- It is actions and behaviors expected of a certain
individual. Individual who share similar backgrounds or perform
similar roles are grouped together into social groups or social class.
Social values– It is an actions or ideals that are considered
important by society.
Social system- An organized or patterned set of relationships
among individuals and groups that compose a society.
