12. IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON SOCIETY
• As one caveman taught another how to use the wheel,
carts were built, making transport easier. This decreased
work load made time for other activities, such as drawing.
• It also connected one group to another. Therefore the
mere transfer of knowledge caused by society to evolve
into civilized groupings.
• One of the main arguments for public education is that, as
individuals in a society become more knowledgeable, the
entire population becomes more knowledgeable.

13. IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON SOCIETY
EDUCATION is a fundamental to sustainable development. It is a
powerful driver of development and one of the strongest instruments
for reducing poverty and improving health; it also enables people to
be more productive, to earn a better living and enjoy a better quality
of life, while also contributing to a country’s overall economic growth.

14. IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON SOCIETY
Education is necessary to advance in any situation. It
has become a factor to a person’s success in today’s
society.
Education promotes health
Education closes the gender gaps
Education minimizes malnutrition
Education promotes economic growth

15. EDUCATION CAN BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER WHERE
GOVERNMENTS FAIL
Sadly, one tactic that has often been used to achieve this is to deprive the large
majority of the people from education opportunities, such that citizens do not
know what their rights are.
Education can help bridge the gap between ethnic, religious and cultural
tensions. If people are not raised to be active from their childhood on, to be
responsible participants in their communities and to participate in the activities
needed towards achieving development, then it is less likely that any form of
peace will be sustainable in the long term.

16. ROLE OF EDUCATION IN STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES
Indeed, there’s a lot of Filipino children are currently out of school, and many
more are not learning even basic mathematics or reading skills. Dropout rates
are high.

17. EDUCATION is the most important criteria for individual as well as collective
development of a society and a state.
PRIMARY EDUCATION is the basic bedrock upon which whole building of
education and human development stands.
It provides the child with basic insights to a new world and
provides him with necessary tools to proceed through various
fields of life.
ROLE OF EDUCATION IN STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES

18. We know that EDUCATION helps people understand democracy,
promotes the tolerance and trust that underpin it, and motivates
people to become active inquisitive citizens. We are even more
energised to ensure that education’s vital role is recognised,
especially in regions and countries where lack of tolerance is
associated with violence and conflict.
EDUCATION IS INDISPENSABLE IN STRENGTHENING
THE BONDS THAT HOLD COMMUNITIES AND
SOCIETIES TOGETHER
Education also helps to identify and develop those leaders in
our communities who will battle against low-quality
education, and poverty, leading to a successful and strong
community.

19. A group of individuals
involved in persistent
social interaction, or a
large social group
sharing the same spatial
or social territory,
typically subject to the
same political authority
and dominant cultural
expectations.

20. Societies are characterized
by patterns of relationships
(social relations) between
individuals who share a
distinctive culture and
institutions; a given society
may be described as the
sum total of such
relationships among its
constituent of members.

22. The members of hunting and
gathering societies primarily
survive by hunting animals,
fishing, and gathering plants.
The vast majority of these
societies existed in the past,
with only a few (perhaps a
million people total) living
today on the verge of
extinction.

23. Members of pastoral societies,
which first emerged 12,000
years ago, pasture animals for
food and transportation.
Pastoral societies still exist
today, primarily in the desert
lands of North Africa where
horticulture and manufacturing
are not possible.
Domesticating animals allows
for a more manageable food
supply than do hunting and
gathering.

24. Unlike pastoral societies,
which rely on domesticating
animals, horticultural
societies cultivate fruits,
vegetables, and plants. These
societies first appeared in
different parts of the planet
about the same time as
pastoral societies.

25. Agricultural societies use
technological advances to
cultivate crops especially
grains like wheat, rice, corn,
and barley over a large area.
Greater degrees of social
stratification appeared in
agricultural societies.

26. From the 9th to 15th centuries,
feudalism was a form of society
based on ownership of land.
Unlike today's farmers, vassals
under feudalism were bound to
cultivating their lord's land.
 In exchange for military
protection, the lords exploited
the peasants into providing
food, crops, crafts, homage,
and other services to the
owner of the land.

27. Industrial societies are based
on using machines (particularly
fuel‐driven ones) to produce
goods. Sociologists refer to the
period during the 18th century
when the production of goods
in mechanized factories began
as the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution
appeared first in Britain, and
then quickly spread to the rest
of the world.

28. A community is a social unit (a
group of living things) with
commonality such as norms,
religion, values, customs, or
identity. Communities may
share a sense of place situated
in a given geographical area
(e.g. a country, village, town,
or neighborhood) or in virtual
space through communication
platforms.

29. COMMUNITY DEFINITION
INTEREST
Communities of people who share the same
interest or passion.
ACTION
Communities of people trying to bring about
change.
PLACE
Communities of people brought together by
geographic boundaries.
PRACTICE
Communities of people in the same profession
or undertake the same activities.
CIRCUMSTAN
CE
Communities of people brought together by
external events/situations.

30. Education is the process of facilitating learning, or
the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs,
and habits. Educational methods include teaching,
training, storytelling, discussion and directed
research.

31. Education frequently
takes place under the
guidance of
educators, however
learners can also
educate themselves.

32. Pedagogy, the study of
teaching methods

33. Equality means each individual or group of
people is given the same resources or
opportunities. Equity recognizes that each
person has different circumstances and
allocates the exact resources and
opportunities needed to reach an equal
outcome

38.  Equality and Equity

39.  Pluralism
 The United States is a society composed of many groups of people, some of whom
originally belonged to other societies. Sociologists consider the United States
a Pluralistic Society, meaning it is built of many groups. As societies modernize,
they attract people from countries where there may be economic hardship,
political unrest, or religious persecution. Since the industrialized countries of the
West were the first to modernize, these countries tend to be more pluralistic than
countries in other parts of the world.
