FORMS OF SOCIETY

INTRODUCTION
The development of societies throughout
history shows the development of humankind
in response to changing surroundings and
historical developments.
 INTRODUCTION
According to William Ogburn, society changes
because of one of three things: discoveries,
inventions and cultural diffusion (the spread of
the one culture to different society)
 DISCOVERIES
Discoveries occur when something
completely new is observed or
found. A famous example of this is
the discovery of the America,
which led to cultural and social
changes across the globe.
 INVENTIONS
Inventions are when something new is
created such as a smartphone.
Smartphones combine computer
software technology with telephone
technology and yet they have
dramatically shaped our cultural norms
and societal boundaries.
CULTURAL DIFFUSION
If people migrate from one
society to another, they will
introduce their own culture to a
new group of people thereby
initiating social changes there.

If you will be reborn in
which society, you want to
live? Why?
(Kung mabubuhay kang
muli sa anong lipunan mo
gustong mabuhay? Bakit?)
HOW DOES SOCIETY INFLUENCE OUR
DEVELOPMENT AS A PERSON?
Our culture shapes the way we work
and play, and it makes a difference in
how we view ourselves and others. It
affects our values—what we consider
right and wrong. This is how the
society we live in influences our
choices.
 INTRODUCTION
Society creates stereotypes
about race, religion, class,
gender, sexual orientation.
Society then expects parents to
keep with tradition and mold their
children according to the values
acceptable to the society they
belong.
 WHAT MAKE US FILIPINO

• Being born in the Philippines to Filipino parents make

us Philippine Citizen but does it really make us
Filipino?
• As we grow in Philippine society, we begin to adopt
the traits, traditions, and characteristics of Filipinos.
 WHAT MAKE US FILIPINO
• We speak Filipino language through our interaction with
others.
• We learn how to behave properly, what beliefs and traditions
to practice, and follow the values considered acceptable.
• All these come together to define us identify not only as a
person but as a Filipino
The Person and the society have a very
dynamic relationship in which one cannot
exist with the other.
Therefore, it is important to consider the society’s role in the growth
and development of a person, and the person’s role in transforming
society
SOCIETY IS THE ENVIRONMENT BY WHICH WE
ADOPT THE PREVAILING CULTURE, IDENTITY,
VALUES, IDEAS, AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE

CITIZENS. IT SUSTAIN PEACE AND
ORDER IN THE SOCIETY. IMPOSED

TRADITION AND DO NOT RESULT IN
PUNISHMEN WHEN VIOLATED.
Example covering your mouth when you cough
or removing your shoe when entering a house.
