Society in human behavior
Writing by admin on Wednesday, 13 of January , 2010 at 9:15 pm
A society represents a geographical aggregate and has boundaries, similar government or a group of persons engaged in social relationships for a meaningful interaction. A key concept in the study of society is that of folkways. The term” folkways” simply describes the way in which folks modern or primitive people act and react as they go about the everyday business of living. They try to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Experience teaches every individuals that some ways of doing things are less painful than others; therefore, the pleasanter way- in the long run- becomes the habitual way. Eventually the individuals believes that it is the only way.
After people have been practicing folkways for a long time, they became convinced that these particular way of doing things are indispensable to the welfare of the group as a whole. If things are done differently, they fear calamity will result. When this fear for the welfare of society has cast its spell over folkways, these become mores- fixed customs-that have the force law. Violation of mores becomes a crime against society.
The foundation of every society is a group of individuals with a set of common ideas, attitudes, interests, and styles of living united by common goals. As individuals interact in society, they develop individual personalities; thus personality can be defined as the organization of biological, psychological, socio cultural and educational factors which underlie a person’s behavior. It is a product of multifarious factors which include his innate biological heritage, his environmental experiences and cultural linkages. As human being interacting with one another they exchange the meanings of their environmental and experiences which partly become basis of culture. Thus, culture reflects one’s personality. we can therefore speak of different culture.
