NATURE, GOALS, AND
PERSPECTIVE OF
SOCIOLOGY

Social Institutions are instruments or
patterns of social order focused on
meeting social needs such as family,
government, economy, healthcare and
various institutions.

Society is composed of different social
groups. A social group has two or more

individualism and interests.

 TWO TYPES
OF
SOCIAL GROUPS
MACIONIS (2012)
 PRIMARY GROUP
The Primary Group is the most fundamental
unit of society.
It is considered a long lasting group because
it is characterized by strong ties of love and
affection.
The most important primary group in any
society is the family. Friends who shape an
individual’s attitudes, behaviour, and social
identity also form one’s primary group.
 SECONDARY GROUP
Secondary Group, groups is
characterized by impersonal, business-
like, contractual, formal and casual.
These are the groups with which the
individual comes in contact later in life.
Through socialization, individuals needs
to grow and adapt.
 REFERENCE GROUP
Reference Group, a social group that
serves as a comparison function.
This groups can be primary or
secondary, as well as groups we don’t
belong to.
There is also the opposition of in-
groups and out-groups.
 IN - GROUP

An In-group is a social group toward which a

member feels at home.
 OUT - GROUP

Out-group is a social group which a person

feels they do not belong due to some
differences.
 NETWORK
A group that is composed of people who
come into occasional contact but who lacks
a sense of boundaries and belongings. This
is demonstrated by social networking sites
such as Facebook.
 Characteristics of
SOCIAL GROUP
Group members interact on a fairly
regular basis through
communication.
Members should develop a structure
where each member assumes a
specific status and adopts a
particular role.
 Characteristics of
SOCIAL GROUP

Certain orderly procedures and

values are agreed upon.
The members of the group feel a
sense of identity.
 What’s More
CULTURAL, SOCIAL
AND POLITICAL
 Cultural, Social
and Political
In the society that we live in, we are
mandated by a set of rules.
Some of these rules may be enforced while
others are discussed.
Irrespective of how these were organized,
their significance in understanding what
is culturally, socially, and politically
acceptable cannot be ignored.
 Cultural, Social
and Political

In the Philippine society, some

important institutions are family,
religion and civil society.
Other institutions such as market and
economy, education, and also health
are also notable.
 Cultural, Social

Economic institutions have an important

role in the economy- they make sure that

that the marginalized people are secured.
Examples of economic institutions are
Banks, Government Organizations and
Investment Funds.
