QUARTER 2 | LESSON 8
Social Institutions
◦ are instruments or patterns of social order focused on

meeting social needs such as family, government,
economy, healthcare and various institutions. Throughout
the rest of this module, we will focus much our attention to
studying these specific social institutions.
◦ Society is composed of different social groups. A social
group has two or more people who interact with one another.
These people share experiences, individualism and interests.
However, not all individuals who share similar
characteristics interact with one another. The social groups
could be couples, families, sets of friends, and barkada,
churches, clubs, businesses, neighbourhood and large
organizations.
According to Macionis (2012), a distinguished scholar
of Sociology, there are two types of social groups.
◦ Primary Group
◦ Secondary Group
The Primary Group is the most fundamental unit of society. It is
considered a long lasting group because it is characterized by strong ties
of love and affection. The most important primary group in any society
is the family. Friends who shape an individual’s attitudes, behaviour,
and social identity also form one’s primary group.
Secondary Group, groups is characterized by impersonal, business-
like, contractual, formal and casual. These are the groups with which
the individual comes in contact later in life. Through socialization,
individuals needs to grow and adapt.
◦ .To consider one’s own attitudes and behaviour, individual’s use a
Reference Group, a social group that serves as a comparison
function. This groups can be primary or secondary, as well as groups
we don’t belong to. There is also the opposition of in-groups and out-
groups. An In-group is a social group toward which a member feels at
home while an Out-group is a social group which a person feels they
do not belong due to some differences. Another group is the Network
that is composed of people who come into occasional contact but who
lacks a sense of boundaries and belongings. This is demonstrated by
social networking sites such as Facebook.
Characteristics of Social Group:
◦ Group members interact on a fairly regular basis through
communication.
◦ Members should develop a structure where each member
assumes a specific status and adopts a particular role.
◦ Certain orderly procedures and values are agreed upon.
◦ The members of the group feel a sense of identity.
Processed Questions:
1.Why do we need to group people?
2.Why did we say in the discussion that not all
individuals who share similar characteristics interact
with one another?
3.Assess how these groups relate to one another.
Cultural, Social and Political
◦ In the society that we live in, we are mandated by a set of rules. Some
of these rules may be enforced while others are discussed. Irrespective of
how these were organized, their significance in understanding what is
culturally, socially, and politically acceptable cannot be ignored. In the
Philippine society, some important institutions are family, religion and civil
society. Other institutions such as market and economy, education, and also
health are also notable. Economic institutions have an important role in the
economy- they make sure that means are properly scattered, and ensure
that the marginalized people are secured. Examples of economic
institutions are Banks, Government Organizations and Investment Funds.
Processed Questions:
1. What is your concept of institution?
2. How do family, school, religion, economy,
civil society and health center or hospitals
influence your life?
3. How do you define economic welfare?

A Family is a bond almost everyone on
earth shares but its culture and patterns
differ from every country.
Institutions evolve over time as a result of
the changing relationships among groups in
society.
Religion is supposed to promote peace, but
now a days it instead endorses conflicts.

GUIDED ASSESSMENT 2
Social Stratification involves not just people within a single country; it is also a global pattern with some nations far
more economically productive than others. It refers to society’s categorization of its people into groups based on
socioeconomic factors like wealth, income, race, education, gender, occupation, and social status or derived power
(social and political power).
