Society refers to social organizations that share a common habitat, while culture includes the shared behaviors, values, and beliefs of a society. A society has social structure, which are patterns of relationships, and functions, which are the intended and actual consequences of social behaviors. Within societies are social institutions that deal with the economy, social control, religion, and kinship. Culture is learned, patterned, adaptive, and compulsory. It includes ideas, beliefs, values, norms, and material goods that are shared within a group.
Legitimacy maintains political stability because it establishes a regime's right to rule, and so underpins the regime's authority over its people. Legitimacy may be based on traditional, charismatic or legal–rational authority. Nevertheless, structural imbalances in modern society may make it increasingly difficult to maintain legitimacy. Legitimation crises may arise from the conflict between the pressure for social and economic interventionism generated by democracy on the one hand, and the pressure generated by market economy on the other.
There is considerable controversy about how liberal-democratic systems work in practice. Pluralists praise the system's capacity to guarantee popular responsiveness and public accountability. Elitists highlight the tendency for political power to be concentrated in the hands of a privileged minority. Corporatists draw attention to the incorporation of groups into government. The New Right focuses on the dangers of 'democratic overload'. And Marxists point to tensions between democracy and capitalism.There are a number of rival models of democracy, each offering its own version of popular rule. Classical democracy, which is based on the political system of Ancient Athens, is defended on the grounds that it alone guarantees government by the people. Protective democracy gives citizens the greatest scope to live their lives as they choose. Developmental democracy has the virtue that, in extending participation, it widens liberty and fosters personal growth. People's democracy aims to achieve economic emancipation, rather than merely the extension of political rights.

Understanding Culture, Society and Politics - Culture and SocietyJuan Miguel Palero

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. Concepts of society and culture are the “building blocks” of
understanding and analyzing everyday life.
Society refers to the totality of social organizations (ex.
Corporations, schools, hospitals, and religious groups that
share a common habitat or a territorially defined place and
depend on each other for survival.
Within the society are local networks or small groups
characterized by a sense of belonging, intimacy and affection.
3. Society has both structure and function:
Social Structure – refers to patterns of relationships between
units of a specified whole. (people’s behavior and their
interrelation with one another)
Function - refers to the purpose and effects, as well as the
intended and actual consequences of particular beliefs and
actions.
With in the society there exist organized systems of social norms,
beliefs, values and material culture formed around the social
needs of people. These are known as Social Institutions.
4. Types (4):
1. Those that deal with the economy and property
relations. (ex. Farms, banks, and markets)
2. Those concerned with social control. (ex. Politics, law,
and government)
3. Those concerned with the supernatural (ex. Magic and
religion)
4. Those based on the principle of kinship created by
descent and marriage. (ex. The Family)
5. Major Theoretical Perspectives of Society
Structuralism Functionalism or Functionalism
▪ Advocates of this theory are, Durkheim, Weber, Thomas,
Pareto, Parsons, and Merton.
▪ Functionalist hold that society is a system made up of a set of
elements or components that are interrelated in a more or
less stable way through a period of time.
▪ Function refers to the “series of service activities carried on
by an organized group of persons in a society for the benefit
of its members.”
6. Conflict Theory by Karl Marx
Society can be best studied through conflict and
power struggle.
They point out that within a society , wealth, prestige
and power are always scarce, it is always a constant
conflict for these scarce resources and the inequalities
in the economic system would bring about revolution.
7. Culture is an encompassing concept which includes all the
recipes for living, a blueprint for behavior and any social
activity, the sum of human creations, and a way of life which
serves as potential guide for behavior.
From the standpoint of the anthropologists and sociologists,
all people have culture. All humans participate in a culture in
whatever statuses in life they have.
Each society has its own distinctive systems therefore
culture varies.
8. Characteristics of Culture
Culture is learned – Absorption of any habit , value, knowledge,
skill and taste of the group reflects the uniquely elaborate
capacity of humans to learn.
Culture is transmitted orally and by writing - through
conditioning, imitation, suggestion, identification, reward
and punishment, formal instruction and mass communication.
Culture is shared – the elements of culture result from living
and interacting with one another and emerge out of the
social life of people.
9. Culture is patterned and integrated – culture is made up of elements
which are not haphazardly arranged but patterned into a unified
whole.
Culture is adaptive – No culture is static and each individual or
generation makes adjustments.
Culture is compulsory – members of the society have to follow the
culture in their dealings with others if they wish to get along
successfully.
Cultures interact and change – through trade networks, conquests,
migration, education and tourism, cultures interact and change.
10. Dimensions of Culture

express the meaning of their experiences through ideas.
Beliefs – man’s conviction about the reality of things and are
shared ideas about how the world operates.
Values – socially accepted and shared ideas about what is right.
Common Understanding – use of gestures in interacting with
other members of the group without the constant need to
explain what one is doing.
11. Norms and Sanctions – norms are shared rules or ideals designating
behavior in certain situations. Sanctions are imposed when
members violates the norms in order to control their errant behavior
maybe informal or informal, positive or negative.
Folkways – are habits, conventions, customs and repetitive patterns
of expected behavior and tend to be self-perpetuating .
(ex. Pamanhikan)
Mores – social norms that are essential to the welfare to the group and
their cherished values. They have moral or ethical value and are
associated with strong feelings of right or wrong.
12. Laws – are formalized norms defined by a governing body or

Ideology – refers to a meaningful system of doctrines, ideas and
symbols, norms and values.

psychological needs).
▪ Each society has to carry out certain functions necessary for social
living.
▪ Human beings have a similar range of emotions, needs for security
and response and possesses a symbolic language.

culture.

▪ Urbanites going to rural areas
▪ Rural folks migrating to urban areas
16. Ethnocentrism - the view to regard one’s culture as right and
normal, with a superior attitude.
Literally means a belief that one’s group is the center of
the universe and one scales and rates other cultures with
reference to it.
Cultural Relativism - culture must be understood in terms
of its own values and beliefs and not by standards of the
viewer’s culture. It assumes that no culture is better than
any other.
