  What is society?What drives human beings to establish societies? Have you ever pondered how your world has defined you? Have you ever thought about your place in this world and among the people you interact with every day? Have you ever reflected on how your presence has affected the world and people around you? The human person exists to relate with others. The person is by nature a social being because he or she has a tendency to go out of himself or herself to form bonds and relationships with others. Throughout a person's life, he or she experiences a variety of relationships that help shape him or her as a person. Infants first relate with their immediate family and guardians as the source of basic needs. As they grow, they expand their horizons and start relating with people who are not part of their immediate family. They establish friendships beginning in their childhood and into their teenage and adult years. They also learn how to deal with other figures of authority aside from their parents or guardians. As we grow into adulthood, our relationships and responsibilities also change because we play more significant roles in the communities we live in.

  THE SOCIAL CONTRACTTHEORY During the Enlightenment, social philosophers pondered the natural laws that govern human societies, and in their discussions, several philosophers put forth their theories regarding the formation of societies. Enlightenment philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean Jacques Rousseau were among the most prominent social theorists who tackled the origins of human society. To fully understand the true character of society, they imagined humans as living in a so-called "natural state," removed from modernity and civilization. Examining humans in their natural state afforded these philosophers an opportunity to discuss the origins of society and relate them to other concepts such as man's intrinsic nature and liberty. Various views emerged to explain the developments that brought about the emergence of human society.

  “Social contract” anagreement where individuals sacrifice an amount of of their freedom and submit to a higher authority. In this way, society is able to function and meet the needs of the many, ensuring the survival of humanity. “Consent of the governed” Locke`s social contract is a convenant among individuals to cooperate and share the burden of upholding the welfare of society. Also, the authority established to run society should reflect the ideals of the people who organized it. Should this authority fail to uphold its obligation or live up to the ideals of the people, it will be discarded and replaced with a new one. “General will” Rousseau believed that even if the people are the ones who organized society and established an authority or government, in extreme cases, the government is able to impose its will on the people. This is based on the assumption that the people have empowered the government to act on their behalf, and that it is considered to be the best judge of what is most

John Rawls he imagined humans have a “veil of ignorance” or no knowledge of one`s own characteristics such as gender,race, or social status.

People choose to cooperate since it is a beneficial to meet their self-interest. “Common good” Philosophers who discussed the origins of society traced the emergence of society to the human desire to achieve the goal of survival.

  The various formsof societies that emerged include the following: Hunting and gathering society- This is recognized as the earliest and simplest form of society. It is generally characterized by its small size and is composed mainly of families. They are nomadic because they spend most of their time searching for food and thus, have no permanent territory. Pastoral society – This type of society is characterized by the domestication of animals for food for a more stable and predictable food supply. Pastoral communities have larger populations than hunting and gathering societies and remain longer in one place. In addition, pastoral societies often produce surplus food and resources, which they trade with other societies.

  Horticultural society- Horticulturalsocieties involve small-scale plant cultivation and animal domestication, with semi-nomadic lifestyles and clear gender-based roles. Members often move to new areas when resources are depleted, and surplus goods can create inequalities. In these societies, family and clan bonds are strong, and tasks are assigned by tradition, with men typically engaging in farming and hunting, while women focus on domestic duties. Agrarian societies- are an advancement of horticultural and pastoral societies, characterized by large-scale agriculture, advanced technology, and tools for farming. These improvements lead to increased production and population growth.

  Feudal society iscentered around land ownership, with rulers granting land to vassals, who are served by peasants. Social structure is hierarchical, with landowners at the top and peasants at the bottom, dependent on each other for resources and protection. People in feudal societies value family and community relations and are resistant to change, adhering to traditional hierarchies. Industrial society emerged from the Industrial Revolution and is characterized by the use of machinery for production. It led to increased trade, improved living standards, and the growth of factories and public education. However, it also caused greater wealth inequality. Social relations in industrial societies are less family- or community-oriented and more impersonal, focused on workplaces and economic class divisions.

Advanced technology and the generation, storage, and manipulation of information play a central role. Members of this society have higher education and specialized roles.

Members of society are assigned social roles, and those with similar backgrounds or roles form social groups or classes. Key institutions like family, school, government, and religion help shape society. Our interactions with these groups and institutions shape our worldview and identity. A well- functioning social system ensures harmony and the welfare of its members. Over time, society has transformed human relations.
