 What is It
Social group consists of individuals who are united by their similar characteristics and these
characteristics serve as the bases of their constant interaction. However, not all individuals
who share similar characteristics interact with one another. Social group consists of
individuals who are united by their similar characteristics and these characteristics serve as
the bases of their constant interaction. However, not all individuals who share similar
characteristics interact with one another

IN GROUPS, OUT- GROUPS, AND REFERENCE GROUPS

IN GROUP- the social group in which an individual directly affiliates and expresses loyalty to.
It’s three primary characteristics reinforce the boundary that it creates between its members
and those coming from other groups.

Three Primary characteristics of In-group

 Members use titles, external symbols and dress to distinguish themselves from the out-
group. Members apply positive stereotypes to their in-group and negative stereotypes to
the out-group.
 Members tend to clash or compete with members of the out-group.

OUT-GROUP – The group that an individual is not part of negative attributes are usually
associated with individuals who are part of this group.
REFERENCE GROUP – the behavior of an individual can be shape by the set of behavior and
beliefs of a group that such an individual considers as ideal.

Social organizations happen in everyday life. Many people belong to various social structures—
institutional and informal. These include clubs, professional organizations, and religious
institutions. To have a sense of identity with the social organization, being closer to one another
helps build a sense of community. While organizations link many like-minded people, it can
also cause a separation with others not in their organization due to the differences in thought.
Social organizations are structured to where there is a hierarchical system. A hierarchical
structure in social group’s influences the way a group is structured and how likely it is that
the group remains together.
Four other interactions can also determine if the group stays together. A group must have a
strong affiliation within itself. To be affiliated with an organization means to have connection
and acceptance in that group. Affiliation means an obligation to come back to that
organization. To be affiliated with an organization, it must know and recognize that you are a
member. The organization gains power through the collective resources of these affiliations.
Often affiliates have something invested in these resources that motivate them to continue to
make the organization better. On the other hand, the organization must keep in mind
the substitutability of these individuals. While the organization needs the affiliates and the
resources to survive, it also must be able to replace leaving individuals to keep the organization
going. Because of all these characteristics, it can often be difficult to be organized within the
organization. This is where recorded control comes in, as writing things down makes them
more clear and organized.

Social organizations within society are constantly changing. Smaller scale social
organizations in society include groups forming from common interests and
conversations. Social organizations are created constantly and with time change.

Smaller scaled social organizations include many everyday groups that people would not
even think have these characteristics. These small social organizations can include things
such as bands, clubs, or even sports teams. Within all of these small scaled groups, they
contain the same characteristics as a large scale organization would. While these small
social organization do not have nearly as many people as a large scale would, they still
interact and function in the same way.

Looking at a common small organization, a school sports team, it is easy to see how it
can be a social organization. The members of the team all have the same goals, which is
to win, and they all work together to accomplish that common goal. It is also clear to see
the structure in the team. While everyone has the same goal in mind, they have different
roles, or positions, that play a part to get there. To achieve their goal they must be one,
and that is what makes them a social organization.

In large-scale organizations, there is always some extent of bureaucracy. Having

bureaucracy includes: a set of rules, specializations, and a hierarchical system. This
allows for these larger sized organizations to try maximize efficiency. Large-scaled
organizations also come with making sure managerial control is right. Typically, the
impersonal authority approach is used. This is when the position of power is detached
and impersonal with the other members of the organization. This is done to make sure
that things run smoothly and the social organization stays the best it can be.

A big social organization that everyone knows about is a hospital. Within the hospital are
small social organization—for example, the nursing staff and the surgery team. These
smaller organizations work closer together to accomplish more for their area, which in
turn makes the hospital more successful and long lasting. As a whole, the hospital
contains all the characteristics of being a social organization. In a hospital, there are
various relationships between all of the members of the staff and also with the patients.
This is a main reason that a hospital is a social organization. There is also division of
labor, structure, cohesiveness, and communication systems. To operate to the utmost
effectiveness, a hospital needs to contain all of the characteristics of a social organization
because that is what makes it strong. Without one of these things, it would be difficult
for this organization to run.

Human Ecology is the study of the interactions between man and nature in different
cultures. Human Ecology combines the ideas and methods from several disciplines,
including anthropology, sociology, biology, economic history and archeology.

Demography is a social science which entails the statistical study

of populations. Population, in simpler terms, is the number of people in a city or town,
region, country or world; population is usually determined by a process called census (a
process of collecting, analyzing, compiling and publishing data).

In statistics, a population is the entire pool from which a statistical sample is drawn.
A population may refer to an entire group
8 | P aofg epeople, objects, events, hospital visits, or
measurements. A population can thus be said to be an aggregate observation of subjects
grouped together by a common feature.

Based on the presentation above wherein it implies that the family is the basic unit of the
society it’s main function is to nurture the values, behavior, and identity of its member. This
nurtured characteristics it will be evident in their community as they interact to their
community that composed the human ecology allowing the growth of population and
demography to enclose in building a society manned by social organization and social change
as they develop to understand the functionality of society thru sociological approach and
psychology which conclude functional social change. Family is the single
most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments of life, children depend on
parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Parents and family form a child's
first relationships.

Families Meet Physical and Emotional Needs

Parents provide necessities—food, clothing, and shelter—for children in their household. But
the importance of family doesn’t end with physical needs. They should aim to support emotional
needs as well. In short, a strong family should be a source for much more than just basic items
needed for life. A family should be a bedrock of encouragement, respect, and love to help every
member thrive.

Families Provide Protection Simply put, children are not equipped to manage life on their
own. After all, children can’t earn income and provide for their own economic security. They
need a stable home and strong parents who are committed to their well-being. Children need
to feel safe and protected to engage in a healthy way with the world.

Families Advocate for Children’s Needs At times, children depend on the adults in their lives
to speak up for their needs. A child may be struggling at school, for example. Or someone may
be bullying a child in the neighborhood. If a child has any health concerns, parents are best
equipped to talk with doctors and care professionals. It can be hard for kids to tackle these
sorts of complex issues on their own

Family Helps Model Good Values In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s easy to get over-
exposed to unhealthy ideas and images. However, a close family with strong values can help
young family members avoid or resist negative influences. Without strong family values, young
people can succumb to peer pressure and stumble upon unwanted consequences, including
substance abuse and various forms of addiction. It’s best to start embodying good values when
your kids are young.

Healthy Families Provide Guidance in All Areas of Life Families can be a source of support
in good times and in bad. When kids are young, parents can provide advice on playground or
friendship issues. As children grow, parents can help them navigate school, sports, activities,
