WHAT IS IT?
Relationships that we experienced in our lives depend on the level of our experience. For example,
when we were yet a child, we always depended on our family. As we grow older, we start to go with people
in the community, from there, we began to relate ourselves with our opposite sex. In our doing such, we
exercised our freedom to do what we want to do. We are capable of establishing society by way of our
different relationships with other people such as friendships, alliances or union sharing common territory.
Our relationships with other people caused us to survive. We survive because of our parents, our friends
and
even our neighbours may it be in school or in the workplace. The education we have starts from our home.
Our parents taught us everything they also learned starting from talking, reading and writing, even values,
good manners and right conduct. Simple household jobs. This education will continue when we go to
school. When we finish our education, we are already equipped with abilities, skills and knowledge for us
to become productive members of the society. Therefore, society helps us grow as a better person.

2. School - ___________________________________________________________
3. Community - ________________________________________________________
WHAT IS IT?
As members of the society, we learn, we interact, we exercise our freedom and we follow common
beliefs, traditions and norms or standards. Norms are set of traits and behavior that society considers
good and acceptable. The society expects us to behave the way it is used to. When we do not obey to the
established norms, then we experience punishments for not doing so. Moreover, laws are
4

made to provide us proper guidelines to sustain peace and order. Violation of the law means punishment.
On the other hand, folkways are traditional in nature and do not result in punishment if not followed.
The person and society are inseparable. One cannot exist without the other. It is a two -way
relationship that binds both the person and the society for growth and development. We have our own
individual assigned social roles in the society. Social roles are set of connected behaviors expected to a
certain person. Individuals with common or similar roles are grouped together to form social groups and
eventually the different social groups would become social institutions that include our family, school,
government among others.

Activity 1: FREEDOM
Look for an indigenous material that is available in your neighbourhood or community that bests
describe on how are you going to define the word FREEDOM. Paste the material inside the box below and
write a short explanation why you choose such material.
WHAT IS IT?
Freedom is a fundamental right inherent (kaakibat) by human beings. It is one of the natural rights
that cannot be taken away from us. By all means, we have the right to exercise our freedom. But we have
to remember always that freedom carries great responsibility. Our decisions and actions in exercising such
freedom would greatly affect its outcome, either it could make us or break us. For instance, if we are borne
poor, we have the freedom to strive hard, be educated and we can look for ways to make our lives better.
Our circumstances (kalagayan) do not define who we are but our decisions will.
The society, especially the government, is a helping hand, providing us social services to better
ourselves; public service, free education and health care, financial assistance, peace and order, to name a
few. These services will be able to support us reach our potentials. And with this, it could help us to be
productive, become progressive, capable of making significant changes and contributions in our society.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED?

 Society was brought about by the human desire to relate with others. Society is considered a product of
deliberate actions by individuals who come together in pursuit of a common goal.
 It greatly influences the individual, as it determines to a certain extent a person’s identity. Society
makes possible the emergence of certain individualities, which are the result of a person’s interaction
with other members of society.
 Society is also rooted in the concepts of the common good and general welfare, which refers to social
conditions that enable persons and groups to fulfil their goals and achieve well-being.
6

 Societies are of different types and their types depend on their level of development. These include
hunting and gathering society, pastoral society, horticultural society, agrarian or agricultural society,
feudal society, industrial society and post-industrial society.
 Various forms of society have emerged throughout human history. These societies have given rise to
specific individualities that were defined by the nature of human relations prevalent within those given
societies.
 For the society to exist in unity and harmony, there is the need of the presence of norms, laws,
folkways, social system, social role, social groups of social classes, social institutions and social values.
 Society provides opportunities for its members to grow and achieve well-being. Through its various
institutions, society endeavours to develop well-adjusted and productive members that can make
significant contributions to society. In turn, individuals uphold the common good and work to bring about
positive changes in society.
 Society recognizes the capability of the person to develop, and provides its members with
opportunities to better themselves. Effective and efficient public service, education, and the
maintenance of peace and order are some of the ways society ensures that we are able to have
productive lives and realize our potential. Other ways that individuals can bring about social change is
by organizing themselves into groups that advocate certain causes. These concerted efforts of many
groups often bring about social movement, which is a large-scale action done by various groups and
organizations in pursuit of a common goal to bring about change.
WHAT I CAN DO?
