1.1 Discuss what is meant by the concept of social order.
Social order is the way that a society is structured and organized. It is the set of norms,
values, and beliefs that are shared by the members of a society, and that help to maintain
order and stability. Social order is essential for the smooth functioning of a society, as it
provides a framework for people to interact with each other and to cooperate in achieving
common goals.
Social order is maintained through a combination of individual behaviors and societal
institutions such as the government, legal system, and education systems.
1.2 Define the concept of socialism.
Socialism is a political and economic system in which the means of production are owned
and controlled by the people. This means that the government or the people themselves
own the factories, businesses, and other resources that are used to produce goods and
services. Under socialism, industries, and resources are owned and managed by the state or
the people collectively, with the goal of creating a more egalitarian society and reducing
social inequality.
Socialism is often contrasted with capitalism, in which the means of production are owned
by private individuals or businesses.
