]]>Social organization is not limited to the group members’ cooperation and interaction. However, it is also the cooperation and interaction of social institutions. A stable functioning social system is the product of organization in social institutions. Let’s take an example of manufacturing company, each company has different units or department and they coordinate and cooperate with one another to achieve their objective. Therefore the manufacturing company is an organization. The cooperation and interaction of different units of social system, institution and group is known as social organization. When every individual within a group and institution perform its role is called social organization. on macro level when each institution perform its function and coordinate with other institutions for the achievement of its objective it’s known as organized social system or society.
Social interaction is the building block of social organization. Without interaction social organization cannot be created. For an organized social system interaction between institutions is mandatory. For an organized social institution or group interaction between individuals and its unit is necessary. Like different parts of machine make it whole similarly, coordination and interaction of individuals and institutions make an organized society. All the associations, groups, institutions and social systems are the product of social interaction.
Social system is the product of interdependence of all functioning units or institutions. The different functions performed by institutions with the help and coordination of one another form social system. Social system is also social organization if all the parts of social system work well and interact with one another to achieve societal objectives.
As discussed above that when people come together to achieve specific objective, they assign different roles and statuses to a person which leads to the creation of group or an institution. The group is a social organization, where every member perform his or her role according to assigned status. With each status, certain roles are associated. Which have to be performed by the member of group holding that status. Same is in the case with social institutions each institution have their status and role. Each institution have to perform its role for the smooth function of institution and social system.

Like roles and responsibilities each individual within a social system has a status. Each status of an individual is associated with roles and responsibilities. For example, the staff of college have their respective status as principle, teacher, administrator, accountant, coach etc. they all play different roles according to their status.
No system can function without authority; authority is also distributed among individuals according to their status. Like in cricket team the selection authority rests with selection committee, in school and college principle has authority of decision making and in family head of family has the authority of decision making. In each social system authority is given to an individual.
Every member of social system who follow the orders and perform their duties according to their status have rights.
Norms define the code of conduct and rules of the social system. Without norms the social system will be disintegrated. It is the blueprint of conduct within the social system, which guide each individual within a social system.
Each social system has its space to conduct their business. It can be home or building depend on the type of social system and its operations.

Like football team, family, college, mosque, church, youth club, teachers association, labor association etc. members of such social systems cooperate, collude and participate for the prime purpose of attaining objectives.

]]>Social organization of militant society is centralized, communication, information, production, services and media every institution is under the regulatory authority of state. Dictatorship and monarchy are the examples of militant society. The prime objective of militant society is warfare and defense, society which do not have good relation with neighboring societies are turned into militant society. Militant society always have external and internal threat. Internal threat is from the individuals living in militant society because every aspect of their life is controlled by state. Individual do not possess the right of liberty in such society. As mentioned above that centralized social system is considered as obstacle in the evolution process and progress of society. Militant social organization is found in the early stages of social evolution. When the structure of society was simple. As the society moves towards, the advance stage of super organic evolution, its structure become more complex and decentralized, which is characterized by “Herbert spencer” as “industrial society”.
“Industrial society” is decentralized social organization. In such type of social organization individuals have liberty and equal rights. Government do not involve in regulating markets and production units. Production units are utilized to satisfy the needs of individual by producing goods and services for them. However, in “militant society” industrial units are used to satisfy warfare needs. Industrial society is more progressive than “militant society”. Individual have free will to use their intellect and turn it in to something productive. In decentralized social organization people have equal opportunities whereas, in centralized system few people benefits by misuse of power.
