Social organization refers to how individuals associate and depend on one another to form formal social groups. Family is the most basic social organization, with members extending to clans, communities, tribes and nations. There are two types of social organizations - kinship which includes family, clan and tribe, and voluntary which includes community and association. Social structure refers to the network of roles and hierarchy of statuses that define expectations within a social unit. Social status can be achieved, through one's own accomplishments, or ascribed, inherited at birth. Roles are norms that function as plans for expected behavior.

BACK
 In our previous lesson we learned:
Gender stereotypes exert a strong
influence on socialization processes. It is
how the society set an expectations for
gender roles and gendered behavior in
an individuals.
 Such as Girls usually receive toys that
emphasize physical appearance and
domesticity such as dolls or dollhouses.
 While boys receive playthings that involve thinking
skills or call to mind traditionally male professions
such as Legos, toy soldiers, or race cars
 We have also learned that a person’s gender does
not define the person. It is our personal convictions
and principles that make us who we are.

9.  “It all started as simple”

10. “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become
a new family.”
Genesis 2:24 (Net Bible)

11.  The CROODS is a comedy adventure that follows the world's first modern family through the
journey of a lifetime. When the cave that has always been their home is destroyed – with
the rest of their world not far behind it – The Croods are forced to set off on the first family
road (or path) trip. Rocked by generational clashes and seismic shifts, The Croods discover
an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures, and a future beyond any they
imagined.
 This family begins in fear ended with faith, that their family will remain intact and complete
against all odds.

12. Family
 Family is the basic social organization it’s the
nucleus of all other established social
organization in our time today. It all started to a
male and female who were deeply in love and
started a simple social organization called
family. These members of the family are
extended into clans, cultural communities,
ethnic tribes and nations; as social organization
develops and evolves into permanent or semi-
permanent social entities. Because social
needs and social condition of its member’s’
arise Social organizations was established to
take care of the need and to handle the
situation.

13. Social
Organization
 is type of collectively established for the pursuit
of specific aims or goals. Characterized by a
formal structure of rules, authority relations, a
division of labor and limited membership or
admission.
 also refers to how individuals learn to associate,
relate, rely, and depend upon one another to the
extent of formalizing those structural and
functional arrangements, links, and entities into
formal social groups.
 Hence, we have marriages being formed
between consenting mature individuals for the
purposes of life-long benefits including mutual
sustenance, security, procreation and child-
rearing. These evolve into families which become
extended into clans, cultural communities, ethnic
tribes and nations; as social organization
develops and evolves into permanent or semi-
permanent social entities.

 Family
 Clan
 Tribe
 VOLUNTARY
 Community
 Association

15. Family
(kinship)
 It is the earliest and the most universal of
all social institutions. It is also the most
natural, simplest and permanent form of
social organization. In society, individuals
are primarily organized into separate
families and households.
 Family is generally composed of
husband, wife and their children. It may
be defined as a group of persons, united
either by the ties of marriage or blood
relationship, having a common household,
a common tradition or culture.
 The form and features of family may be
different from place to place and country to
country but family as a social group
exists everywhere. It may rightly be
described as the keystone of the social
arch. It performs a variety of functions like
biological, emotional, economic,
educational and cultural.

16. Clan (kinship)
 The members of a clan are supposed to
be the descendants of common
ancestors. They usually bear common
surname. They are usually found among
primitive people and members act
through the guidance of a chieftain.
 They are associated through common
social, religious and cultural ceremonies.
Members practice exogamy; they do not
marry a person belonging to the same
clan. All members worship a totem or a
symbolic object like cow, bull, bird etc.

17. Tribe (kinship)
 A tribe is a wider social organization than
clan and has been defined as “a social
group of a simple kind, and members of
which speak a common dialect, have a
common government and act together for
such common purpose as welfare.”
 Tribe is usually formed after a
stronger clan subordinates a weaker
one.
 Tribe has a government with a tribal chief
as its head. It is organized for military
purposes and has a common dialect
and language. Though devoid of blood
relationship, a tribe maintains solidarity
among its members.

18. Community
(voluntary)
 One way of organizing individuals on
secular lines is through formation of
communities and associations. A
community is defined as “the total
organization of social life within a limited
area.” A community is a self-sufficient
group based on common life. The area of
a community may range from narrow to
very broad (even global) limits.

19. Association
(Voluntary)
 MacIver defines, “An association as a group
organized for the pursuit of an interest or group
of interests in common.” Associations may be
of various types including kinship, religious,
cultural, recreational, philanthropic, vocational,
political groups. Primarily political associations
like the state and its coercive agency, the
government are part of society.

produce offspring, socialize them, and give
security and protection to its members. At times
the expected functions are not realized.
 Besides economic function of the clan also

providing protection to its members against
strangers and maintaining harmony among the
members.
 Under agro-pastoral economy the tribe as a
social organization fulfills a vital role (functions) as
a subsistence-enabling territorially-associated
collective, where, through occupancy and
defense of a collective territory tribal members
gain direct access to land, water and pasture
resources.

39. Social Function
Cont…
 Each social group has an organization with an
overall structure governing the interaction of the
members and performing the necessary
functions of holding the group together.
 In the case of the Philippines society, the basic
element of social structure is the family and its
related kinship groups. For Jocano, the basic
element of the Filipino social structure is kinship.
It is through this structural unit of society that
much local authority, rights and obligations and
modes of interaction are expressed, defined,
ordered and systematized. Interpersonal and
intergroup movements of people or groups in
and out of the barrios and towns are in most
cases, largely determined by kinship. Group
alliances are likewise formed on these bases
(1966:3).
