QUARTER 2 – Module 3
Human Person and Society
LEARNING ACTIVITY NO. 6
Using an overlapping Venn diagram,
learners must analyze all the
differences and similarities of the 3
major historic societies
There are several types of society.
They are;
• 1. Hunting and gathering society
• 2. Pastoral Society
• 3. Horticultural Society
• 4. Agricultural Society
• 5. Feudal Society
• 6. Industrial Society
• 7.Post-Industrial Society
A. PRE-INDUSTRIAL SOCIETIES
A. TRIBAL SOCIETY
B. FEUDAL SOCIETY
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• TRIBE – group of peoples living in
a primitive setting under a leader of
chief.
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• TRIBAL SOCIETY associates it to
other meaning such as PRIMITIVE
SOCIETY OR PRELITERATE
SOCIETY
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• TRIBE has become an
important technical term which
pertains to political unit in a
certain territory
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• Tribal societies are small in scale;
bound to their spatial and temporal
range of relations in terms of
society, law, politics and possess a
moral code, cult, and wide range of
belief system.
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• The language systems of
tribes are unwritten which
provides a narrow extent of
communication.
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• This is achieved by the close
connections that exist between
tribal organizations, and by the
focusing of a leader or person to
multiple roles.
TRIBAL SOCIETY
• Unity and coherence exist in tribal
values that are closely related to
social groups and are provided with
an intensity characteristic of all
“closed” systems of thought.
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• Feudalism refers to the economic,
political, and social system that
prevailed in Europe from about the
ninth to the fifteenth century.
FEUDAL SOCIETY
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• Due to the lack of effective centralized
government during this period, kings
and lords granted land and provided
protection to lesser nobles known as
vassals. In return, these vassals swore
oaths of loyalty
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• In return, these vassals swore oaths
of loyalty and military service to
their lords. Peasants known as serfs
were bound to the land and were
subject to the will of their lords.
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• One social class system or
economic form was not realized for
Europe over the whole Middle
Ages. A new economy after
medieval period known as
capitalism is still in progress.
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• Medieval world is known for its
traditional land economy and military
service, and an urban society. These led
to a feudal-based social-class system and
trade & commerce based on money or
capital.
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• For the urban or town environment,
merchants, artisans, and customers formed
the core of the society. They saw
manufacture as the most important
business to produce goods for sale and buy
in the local market economy.
FEUDAL SOCIETY
• Local products was to have an
impact in other areas, such as
regional fairs, port cities, and far
trade destinations.
B. INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
It is the one which uses advance
technology to drive a masssive
production industry that will support
a large population.
B. INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
For example, the United States is an
industrial society because a huge portion
of its economy is tied to jobs that involve
machine work, like factory farming or
auto-assembly plants, that has a
combination of machine and human
employees to produce goods.
B. INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
The objective of an industrial
economy is the fast and efficient
manufacturing of standardized
products.
B. INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
The same goes if one avails a car,
there is a chance that the car was
mass produced because it operates
similarly to other models, and its
parts can be replaced with other parts
because they are identical.
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
C. Post Industrial Society - is marked
by a progress from a manufacturing-
based to a service-based economy.
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
Post industrialization is most evident
in countries and regions that were
among the first to experience the
Industrial Revolution, such as the
United States, western Europe, and
Japan.
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
a. a shift from the production of goods to the
production of services;
b. the replacement of manual laborers with
technical and professional workers
(computer engineers, doctors, and bankers)
as the direct production of goods is moved
elsewhere;
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
c. the replacement of practical
knowledge with theoretical
knowledge;
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
d. focusing to the theoretical and
ethical implications of new
technologies, which helps society
avoid some of the negative features of
introducing new technologies,
concerning environment and energy;
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
e. the development of recent scientific
disciplines—that involve new forms of
information technology, cybernetics, or
artificial intelligence—to evaluate the
theoretical and ethical implications of
new technologies;
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
f. an emphasis on the university and
polytechnic institutes which produce
graduates who innovate and lead the
new technologies contributing to a
postindustrial society; and
B. POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
g. the changing values and norms which reflects
the influences on the society. In an instance,
outsourcing of manufactured goods changes how
members of a society see and treat foreigners and
immigrants. Also, those individuals previously
occupied in the manufacturing sector find
themselves with no clearly defined social role.
DIGITAL SOCIETY AND THE
INFORMATION AGE
• Digital technologies have wildly
affected our interactions and activity
in the 21st century.
• They have significantly changed our
way of learning, working and
socializing.
• These informative societies have paved many
opportunities reaching bigger audiences like
never before.
• With a wider scale of the world’s demography,
primarily Westerners, have access to sources and
technologies which enables them to connect
with enough activities whether economic, social,
political, or educational.
• We can manipulate the phasing of
learning (e.g. free sources) or businesses
(e.g. online selling) without a large sum
of money used as a capital and we can
share our ideas and perspectives to the
international audiences as we connect
beyond.
What do we mean by digital
citizenship?
digital citizen
- is a person who is knowledgeable and
responsible enough to effectively use
different social platforms in the internet.
- they often engage in useful topics and
issues that will help build a better society,
politics and government.
Citizenship can get complicated, especially
if we are going to criticize and show
interest in sensitive topics as we start to
become a digital citizen, using digital
media to actively participate in society and
politics.
What does this all mean then in the
digital age?
We have said that being a digital citizen requires
active participation online, not just access and
use.
We are enacting ourselves on the internet,
considering and understanding the opportunities
presented by this medium, such as anonymity,
communication, and influence.
We can use digital technologies to engage and
participate on many levels in society and political life.
The virtual society and the technological devices today
are starting to reshape the human person and human
interactions and relationships.
More and more interactions are done in the virtual
world than in the actual world.
People are more thrilled to see their virtual selves than
their actual selves.
They are more themselves online
than offline.
People seem to start manipulating
personalities as they exhibit different
behaviors in different worlds.
People fall in love in virtual worlds.
Someone breaks up with a partner
through a text message.
Human relations seem to start losing
an important element in living –
commitment
Virtual worlds and disembodied
relations lack commitment.
We can always step back and retreat
in a virtual world.
We can always create a new self
when our avatars die or when it has
become undesirable.
We can always ignore message.
Virtual realities remove risks; and because
we do not want to risk, we patronize the
virtual world.
Commitment is hard. To commit is to risk.
In the virtual world, one’s anonymity
lessens, if not completely removes risks.
THE DISEMBODIED SUBJECT
The dissatisfaction and frustration of
the human person with bodily
limitation drive the person to prefer a
disembodies human relation.
HUMAN PERSONS ARE NO
LONGER LIVING WITH THEIR
BODIES
PEOPLE are slowly putting aside
their bodies in relating with others
because the technological society
offers an alternative which
apparently resolves human of an
embodied spirit.
we find many cases where people prefer
communicating using virtual world, even if the
person involved is someone seen on a regular
basis.
Moreover, the disembodied interaction among
people is aggravated by modern technological
devices. The different gadgets that are
produced today support disembodied human
relations.
Everyone is glued to their devices –
cellphones, tablets, laptops, or any
device and they are all probably
interacting with their virtual
societies.
We prefer to interact with our phones
with the unfinished game that we are
playing, with the new music and movies
we downloaded, or with our friends who
are probably in the situation – with other
people as well, but alone with their
devices too.
The practice of selfie is another move towards
disembodied human relations. People used to
approach other people to take their photos. But
the regained popularity of selfie gave people
the idea that they do not need the other to take
photos. And the invention of the monopod
aggravates the condition.
The monopod allows us to take group selfies
without missing a member of our group. It has
solidified the person to take our photos. Maybe
we will just disturb the person by asking him to
take our photo. But maybe we are more afraid
of being rejected than by the idea of bothering
the other.
