MAN AS A SOCIAL ANIMAL

MAN HAS A NATURAL URGE TO LIVE AN ASSOCIATED LIFE

WITH OTHERS. THE HUMAN “PUPPY” DEPENDS ON HIS
PARENTS, IS TOUGHT SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN TO
FOLLOW CERTAIN RULES AND EVEN SCHEDULES. We are
separated from animals because we live in a society, we have
very complex psychological processes and the only way to
develop this processes is in a social activity. We have the
need to have social activities.

The society is generally a physical space that’s ruled by

certain laws and coexistence behaviors that every member of
that society should respect is he wants to be a part of it.
Despite of the fact that a society is organized and make the
people’s life easier is not always like this, in ancient times the
people of color weren’t a part of society, the natives either
nor the women, nor the soldiers in the front of a battle and
nor the slaves.

Animals can be in societies too.

Theories the origin of the Society

Hobbes  The man started to coexist in societies because he
wanted protection. Protection of the other mens who
surrounded him. Every man was an enemy to every other
man, they started the group coexistence for a survival reason.
Is a moral contract with mutual agreement between men
Locke  said the opposite of Hobbes, the state of nature was
a state of freedom and self-independence.
The men tired of the corruption and other degenerated men,
made a “social contract” to enter in a civil society.

Rouseeau  He thinks similar to Locke about the “social

contract” bus he’s a different point of view. The population
increased and the men make a difference between what’s
mine and yours, the private property, and they start to
organize in groups, groups that formed various civil societies
that with the time became bigger and bigger, and finally they
end in a bigger society. This way of thinking appears in
several video games, one of them is Spore, where you start
your own civilization by growing up and coexist with others of
your species that end in a big society.
