Tag: man's lifestyle in a society

Food, clothing and shelter altogether make up the basic needs of man to survive in any kind of environment.

We have many needs. Food,shelter and clothing are physical needs. Once these are satisfied, man gets a sense of stability, but that is not enough. We also have some emotional and psychological needs.

A variety of industries and occupations help to fulfill our needs. For example, we need books for studying, and paper for books. That is why occupations like manufacturing paper, printing, book binding, etc also develop. Many people contribute to this process.

To feel secure is an emotional need. We are happy, we wish to share our happiness with others. Similarly, when we are sad, we wish to have somebody with us. We like the companionship of our family members, relatives and friends. These feelings reflect our social nature.

In order to fulfill needs like food, clothing, shelter and security, the society has to create a permanent system. Without such a system, the day-to-day affairs of the society cannot be carried on.

Society helps in the development of our emotional capabilities and the power to think. It also provides the opportunity for expressing our thoughts and feelings.

Society includes all people- men, women, grown-ups, old people, young children. Our families are a part of the society. Society also includes different groups,institutions and organizations.

Living in society, man felt the need for rules to help with smooth functioning of day-to-day matters. It gave rise to conventions, traditions, ethics and values, rules and laws. Man's life in society became more organized and stable.

Society includes groups, institutions and organizations. The inter-relationships and inter-actions between the people, their dependence on one another and sharing also form a part of the society.
