Society and culture are developed

through patterns of interaction. Within
groups, the constant interaction of its
members creates patterns of behavior.
These patterns of behavior create
relationships, and belongingness to the
group is achieved by sharing these patterns
ON FOCUS of behavior. Culture is defined of as a
complex whole, composed of the many
things that people learn by belonging in a
society. People coming from the same
society share the same pattern of behavior.
These patterns can be seen through arts,
beliefs, values and many other facets
mentioned in the previous lessons.
Since culture is susceptible to change,
it is at times unstable and contested. As

material culture. To help ensure that culture
remains stable and integrated, language
plays a very important role.
A social goal can be conceived as
a goal, achieving which, you contribute to,
and in effect, uplift, people's lives apart from
your own. There are many types of social
goals one can think of accomplishing, at their
own convenience and scale of satisfaction.

Social control is achieved through a variety of means, including

through social norms, rules, laws, and social, economic, and institutional
structures. In fact, there would be no society without social control, because
society cannot function without an agreed upon and enforced social order that
makes daily life and a complex division of labor possible. Without it, chaos and
confusion would reign.

The primary way through which social order is produced is through the
ongoing, lifelong process of socialization that each person experiences.
Through this process, we are taught from birth the norms, rules, and behavioral
and interactional expectations that are common to our family, peer groups,
community, and greater society. Socialization teaches us how to think and
behave in accepted ways, and in doing so, effectively controls us our
participation in society.

The physical organization of society is also a part of social control. For

example, paved streets and traffic signals control, at least in theory, the
behavior of people when they drive vehicles. Sidewalks and crosswalks control
foot traffic, for the most part, and aisles in grocery stores control how we move
through the space.

You have learned that through enculturation and socialization, an

individual learn to norms of his/her society. The compilation of the values,
attitudes and beliefs is that individuals receive from their family, peers and
community enables them to create a personal identity that simultaneously
separate them from the other members of the group and incorporate them in its
system. Such differentiation from the general social template is called
individuation. This can be related to the concept of personal identity.This model
presents a fourfold understanding of human identity which are categorize as
follows: the existential “I” . the doing “ME”, the cultural “I” and the performance.(
refer to previous activity: Model of consciousness”.

These categories promote a holonic concept of the self- the self is both
a whole and a part. The self in the context of the personal pertains to the
wholeness of an individual`s identity. This leads back to the uniqueness of every
individual. The self in the context o it being a part of a whole reflects on the
ascribed role that it plays with the context of society.

Reinforcing the continuity of values and goals in society are the norms
that are established. These consist of the rules and regulations on behavior.
Although societies may have similar values and goals, the norms that are
created in reference to these values may vary. There are four (4) categories of
norms,, folkways, mores, taboos and laws. Folkways are the socially approved
behavior that have no moral underpinning. This includes a variety of action that
constitutes acceptable and expected behavior drawn from customs and
conventions.

MORES- are the norms related to moral conventions.These include behaviours

that are acceptable in relation to religious practices.

LAWS- consist of the rules and regulations that are implemented by the state
making them the prime source of social control.
