The second aspect of this control function concerns the motivational commitment of
the individual, which is also called tension-management. A central problem is that of the mechanisms of socialization of the individual, i.e., the processes by which the values of the society are internalized in his personality.
The Different Forms of Society
Agrarian Society
The agrarian society is formed by people who organized themselves to cultivate the land and produce food. The new inventions of tools such as ploughs/plows, combined with irrigation techniques, brought about an increase in food supplies. People settled together to form villages. They were classified as farmers, land owners, or warriors. This classification led to a caste system, where social inequality was evident.
There are two main empirical points at which this system of control operates.
First the situation in which any given individual acts is composed of other individuals in ordered sets of relationship to the individual in point.
Hence, as the source of an individual’s principal
facilities of action and his principal rewards and deprivations, the concrete social system exercises a powerful control over the action of the individual.
The personality system is, in turn, a system of control over the behavioral organism; the
social system, a system of control over the personalities of its participating members; and the cultural system, a system of control relative to social systems.
Industrial Society
The industrial society is a social system whose mode of production focuses primarily on finished goods that were made with the aid of machines. In industrial societies, the largest portion of the labor force is involved in mechanized production of goods and services. An industrial society is based on the use of machines and non-animal sources of energy to produce finished goods. This society continues to undergo rapid changes because of technological innovations. The high level of productivity in industrial societies further stimulates population growth where people start living in cities and urban areas.
The Hierarchy of Relations of Control
The basic subsystems of the general system of action constitute hierarchical series of
such agencies of control of the behavior of individuals or organisms. The behavioral
organism is the point of articulation of the system of action with the anatomical-physiological
features of the physical organism and its point of contact with the physical environment.
Two fundamental sets of exigencies:
(1) those imposed by the relative constancy or “giveness” of a structure
(2) those imposed by the givenness of the environing situation external to the system.
STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MODE OF ANALYSIS
The concept of structure focuses on the patterns of the system, which may be regarded as independent of the lower-amplitude and shorter time-range fluctuations in the relationship of the system to its external situation.
There are many forms of societies. Sociologists characterize and classify societies in many ways, such as the means of livelihood that participants in the social system engage in.
The classifications will help you analyze a social system and how it functions.
Educational Society
Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially in
a school or university. By this account, it reveals that education is also a form of a society composed of people Whose main role is to transfer knowledge or information within an educational institution. People share the motivation to educate and improve learning of those who enter the educational institutions.
Essential Learning:
This module presented to you what a social system is. Parsons characterized What comprises the social system and the factors that affect its components, as well as the transformation it does to the human persons and environing within the system.
These basis are the following:
The concept Of equilibrium is a fundamental reference point for analyzing the processes by which a system either comes to terms With the exigencies imposed by a changing environment, without essential change in its own structure, or fails to come to terms and undergoes other processes.
— Parsons, The Social System
Vanni/Sacral Networks
In the Internet age, societies took a different turn as they formed virtual realities.[Vinita] society refers to all components that are part of a society’s culture based on the functional rather than the physical. It specifically refers to enhanced telecommunication systems and computing technology that people use to interact with each other Within the said society.
These dynamic modes of analysis are concerned with the reorganization and structural change that may happen within the system involved in a structural differentiation. Since social changes are inevitable, it would be difficult to maintain the order and organization of the social system. Thus, in the theory of equilibrium, members of the society are said to continuously adapt to the changing environment.
ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT SOCIAL SYSTEM
-Social System theory is a theoritical scheme which articulates or describes a field of system, in relation to another which is equally a part of the same broader fundamental system.
-According to the American sociologist Talcott Parsons, social system analysis must involve three logically independent but also interdependent bases or axes of variability.
Dynamic Mode of Analysis
Parsons distinguished two dynamic problems relevant to the analysis of social systems.
The first set of dynamic problems are the processes related to the assumption that the structural patterns of institutionalized
culture are given.
Social System
-consist of a group of individual actors inter acting with the other in a situation that has at least a physical or environmental aspect.
-" optimization of gratification"
-whose relation to their situations, including to each other, is defined and mediated in terms of a system of culturally structured and shared symbols.

The second set of dynamic problems are the processes that involve changes in the structure of the system itself. This involves problems of interchange with the cultural system.
However, much of these may in turn depend upon the internal state of the social system and its relations to other environing systems.

Social System are regarded as open systems, engaged in a complicated process of interchange with the environing systems (or the External Environment). Environing systems include cultural and personality systems, the behavioral and other subsytem of the organism, the physical environment.
