The main concept/goal of "social" is social order, to benefits the human person.

It also presents
a curious paradox for human freedom. While it provides temporary structure for our lives,
offering belonging, support, and shared values, it can also act as a powerful force constraining
individual choices and aspirations. Here are some examples:

1. Societal Expectations- for example a young woman with a passion for astrophysics,
raised in a community where farmers are revered as pillars of society. While pursuing
her dream might bring to life, societal pressure to conform to the "expected path" can
be immense. The fear of disappointing family, societal whispers (chismisan), and
potentially “itakwil” can create a powerful impact turning to internal conflict,
challenging her right to choose her own destiny.

2. Cultural Norms- Another example a young man raised in a culture where arranged
marriages are the norm. While he might dream of finding love through his own choices,
the social pressure to continue tradition, the fear of humiliate the family honor, and the
potential backlash against defying the established order can limit his freedom to pursue
a different path.
