    SOCIAL GROUPS & ORGANIZATION

    Sometimes, organization refers to associational


    groups. It includes corporations, armies, schools, and
    banks.

    Society composes many of such organizations.

    Organization is a state of being or a condition in


    which various institutions in society are functioning by
    their recognized or implied purposes (Elliott and Merrill,
    1950).
    SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
    Social organization is a concept that
    social scientists have developed for the
    scientific study of society, culture, and
    personality.

    Social organization or social system


    refers to the interdependence of parts in
    groups. These groups may differ in size and
    nature.
    SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
    Social organization is a process of
    bringing order and significance into human
    social life. It has its roots in social interaction.
    For example, when a boy and a girl get
    married, they communicate and interact
    frequently with each other, adjust their
    activities with each other, influence each
    other, and share common ideas. This social
    relationship becomes progressively more
    regulated, patterned, and orderly.
    SOCIAL STRUCTURE

    -Refers to the independent network


    of roles and the hierarchy of statuses
    which define the reciprocal expectations
    and the power arrangement of the
    members of the social unit guided by
    norms.(Sheriff and Sheriff 1969:150)
    SOCIAL STRUCTURE

    -It is the patterned and recurrent


    social relationships among persons
    in organized collectives as well as
    among the various parts.
    (Peruci, Knudsen, and Hamby 1977:39
    SOCIAL FUNCTION

    It is refers to the results of action


    that occur in relation to a particular
    structure and includes the results of
    the activities of individuals occupying
    particular statuses
    (Schwartz 1968:181)
    SOCIAL FUNCTION
    The social activity of a given social
    structure has certain consequences
    which make the adaptation or adjustment.

    The expected functions of the family


    are to produce offspring, socialize them,
    and give security and protection to its
    members.
    At times the expected functions are
    not realized.
    Different Social Groups of

    that are built on social class,
    personal interest, or common goals.

    group representing the wealthiest,

    make substantial contributions to a
    political candidate.

    groups organized to achieve specific
    goals. Legal organizations tend to be

    organization. The very specific goal of
    most companies is to increase profits.
