throughout history shows the

surroundings and historical
development.
SOCIETIES
Hunting and
Gathering Society
Beginning about 250,000 years ago
Recognized as the earliest and simplest form of
society.
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 thus, have no permanent
territory.
The hierarchy in this society is not very varied.
Its members are generally treated equally and
decisions are usually arrived at through consensus.
The roles of its members and the division of labor is
not very clearly defined.
Assumption
Males - probably traveled long
distances to hunt and capture
larger animals.

Female - hunted smaller

animals, gathered plants, made
clothing, protected and raise
children, and helped the males
to protect the community from
rival groups.

Addition
Hunting and gathering societies were also tribal
Members shared an ancestral heritage and a common set of traditions
and rituals
They also sacrificed their individuality for the sake of the larger tribal
culture
Pastoral Society
Developed about 10,000–12,000 years ago
The word 'pastoral' comes from the Latin root word
pastor, which means 'shepherd'.
Someone living in a pastoral society is called a
pastoralist.
Characterized by the domestication of animals for
food for a more stable and predictable food supply
Have larger populations than hunting and gathering
societies and remain longer in one place.
Often produce surplus food and resources, which
they trade with other societies, which they trade in
other societies.
This relative prosperity enables the people to engage
in other activities apart from those necessary for
survival, such as handicrafts.
Horticultural Society
Developed about 10,000–12,000 years ago
Primarily engages in small-scale cultivation of
plants, fruits, and vegetables and the domestication
of animals.
Semi-nomadic, which means that they travel to
another place when they have already depleted the
resources in one area.
Roles and responsibilities are more clearly defined
with many tasks assigned according to gender.
Similar to the pastoral society, there is also a surplus
of goods, which sometimes leads to inequalities
among its members.
In early societies, the individuals were often very
family- and clan-oriented, and their behaviors and
actions were restricted by tradition.
Agrarian or
Agricultural Society
Beginning roughly 10,000 years ago and lasting until
the beginning of the modern era.
Is a further evolution of the pastoral and horticultural
society.
Agriculture involves the large-scale and long-term
cultivation of crops and domestication of animals.
Is characterized by improved technology and the use
tools to aid in farming.
The improved technology and farming methods result
in increased production, giving rise to growing
population in agricultural societies.
The large population of agricultural societies leads to a
more structured social system that helps manage the
resources and its members.
Another way to define an
agrarian society is by seeing
how much of a nation's total
production is in agriculture.

Addition
In an agrarian society, cultivating the land is the primary source of wealth.
Such a society may acknowledge other means of livelihood and work
habits but stresses the importance of agriculture and farming.
They have been the most common form of socio-economic organization
for most of recorded human history.

Con
The increasingly complex society organization and growing importance of
territory often result in conflicts among neighboring societies over
resources and land.
Feudal Society
Based on the ownership of land.
Arose out of developments in Western Europe
during Medieval times, when rival kingdoms were
engaged in conflict over resources, particularly
land.
Members of society are organized based on status.
(King or Queen, Nobles which include Prince,
Princess and Priests, and Peasants).
Those who own land are considered the most
powerful and influential members of society, while
the peasants are considered the lowest group.
Social relations are characterized by dependence.
The lord depends on his vassals to provide him with
resources, the vassals depend on the peasants for
their services, while the peasants depend on their
vassals for protection.
Vassal - a person under the
protection of a feudal lord to
whom he has vowed homage
and fealty,

Addition
In feudal society, rulers grant their followers or vassals the right to
manage parcels of land. These vassals, in turn, are served by peasant
workers who cultivate the land and tend to the animals in the farms.
An agrarian and feudal society gives rise to individuals who value
relations among family members and with other members in the
community.
People are often very conscious of their place within society and are
mindful of the hierarchy.
People who belong to "higher classes" are treated with respect by the
members of the community.
They are often traditional and are resistant to social change, preferring to
maintain the way things are in their community.
Industrial Society
Based on the use of specialized machinery in the
production of goods and services.
The advances in science and technology in the late
18th century resulted in Industrial Revolution,
which in turn gave rise to new production and
industrial methods, as well as innovations in
transportation and communication.
These technological advances resulted in improved
trade and commerce and better life conditions for
people.
Work is done in factories and public education is
more prevalent.
Con
The emergence of industrial societies is characterized by greater
inequalities in wealth, power, and influence.
Impersonal relationship prevail among individuals.
Alienation is common in industrial societies, as people are often seen as
resources to be exploited.

Addition
Industrial societies are often defined by the nature of work and the prevailing
industry in an area.
The capitalist and business owners are considered the most influential.
This type of society is also characterized by cultural diversity and the
presence of bureaucratic forms of organization.
An industrial society is a significant departure from the agrarian society, as
many of the relations are not family or community-based.
An important factor in social relations is the workplace, and people often
interact with individuals who do not come from the same family, clan, or
community.
The difference between social groups is even more marked and is defined by
access to economic resources and prosperity.
Post-Industrial
Society
Marked by the establishment of societies based on
knowledge, information, and the sale of services.
Led by the human mind and aided by highly
advanced technology
The trend has shifted from industry to the
generation, storage, manipulation, and sale of
information.
Information influences the behavior of people and
has thus become a very important commodity in
post-industrial society.
Members of this society have higher educational
attainment, better training, and specialized roles.
Virtual Society
A product of post-industrial society, where people
organize themselves through communication
technology and the Internet.
Individual in a virtual society often engage in
complex relationships.
People in this society often have fluid identities and
do not necessarily subscribe to certain norms and
established standards of behavior.
The freedom allowed in virtual worlds means that a
person is able to engage in various activities, as well
as access various kinds of information.

forms of societies highlight the growing
complexity of human interaction over time. The
technological advances and cultural changes
that brought about these changes that brought
about these changes result in the expansion of
communities that now include people from
varied ethnicities.
 01 These developments have led to innovations in
human interactions such as language and the
establishment of governments.

02 Many countries around the world

are industrial societies, and a
number of developed countries
have evolved into post-industrial
and virtual societies.
But despite these advancements and
changes, the human person still remains the
heart and center of society. The person is the
primary agent of change, as he or she drives
social changes based on responses to events
and developments affecting society.
