I. Concepts of Social Groups

and Social Organizations
 SOCIAL ORGANIZATION – refers to a
type of collectivity established for the
pursuit of the specific aims or goals,

DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

Basically, society starts with an aggregate of
people called a social group. A social group
exists when two or more persons are in
contact and mutually stimulating and
responding with one another through
language both verbal and non-verbal. This
mutual interstimulation and response
between two or more persons and groups is
referred to as social interaction.
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

When interaction recurs often enough,
a pattern of a social relation exists
which is reciprocal in nature that is,
the behavior of the interactants
derives its meaning from his/her
relation to the other person or persons
involved.
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

This reciprocal social relation also
results to the development of social
status and a corresponding social
role. A social status is a collection of
rights and duties that goes with a
position in a group. A status may be
ascribed or achieved.
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

An ascribed status is the status by
virtue of ones’ birth. He/she does
not have a choice or decision on the
matter such as his/her sex, age,
gender, kinship, religion or
nationality at birth.
 DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

TEACHER An achieved status is one an individual
may acquire by virtue of his/her own
efforts, use of intelligence and skills,
choice, or through some stroke of good
fortune. This can be through marriage,
occupation, profession, education,
industry or lotto winning.
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

The pattern of behavior that accompanies
a status is a social role. Any one person
occupies a number of statuses and plays
the corresponding varied roles at different
stages of life and different social groups to
which he/she belongs and depending
upon which social relationship is in effect
at any particular time.
 DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

II. How Society is Organized?

For instance, a teen-ager Jose can play a role of a:
1. son in a father-son relationship in the family at
home
2. student in a teacher-student relationship in his
school group
3. When he gets married, he can play a role of a
husband in a husband-wife relationship
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
TIME (Part 1)

III. When is a Social Group a Society?

As previously stated, a fairly large social
group sharing a common culture and a sense
of common identity in a community is a
SOCIETY.
The bases for such societal grouping can be
ethnic identity and loyalty, dialect or
language, religious or political affiliation, a
regional or national identity, etc.
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations

IV. What Holds a Society Together?

The interdependent web of
interrelationship, common shared
values, sentiment, mental-set, and
common way of life hold a society
together.
DISCUSSION Lesson 1 - “Social Groups and Social Organizations
