People can be organized in various ways based on relationships, tasks, or functions. Common organizational structures include hierarchical, matrix, and flat structures. Effective organization helps streamline communication, decision-making, and the allocation of resources within a group or company.
A community is a large group of people living together in an organized way. This can involve shared resources, social structures, and collaborative decision-making processes.
Shared culture and organized interactions are two characteristics that people need to share in order to qualify as a society. Shared culture includes beliefs, behaviors, and values, while organized interactions refer to the structured ways in which people come together and engage with each other.

The precolonial period of the Philippines refers to the time before the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 16th century. During this time, various indigenous societies and cultures thrived in the archipelago, with some areas organized into chiefdoms, kingdoms, or sultanates. Trade, agriculture, and animist beliefs were prominent aspects of precolonial Filipino societies.
Chiefdoms likely emerged as a result of increasing social complexity and population growth in early agricultural societies. As communities expanded, the need for organized leadership and resource management became essential, leading to the establishment of hierarchical structures. These structures often involved a chief or leader who could mobilize labor, coordinate trade, and resolve conflicts. This transition from egalitarian societies to chiefdoms was facilitated by factors such as surplus production and the accumulation of wealth.

When Captain James Cook arrived in Hawaii in 1778, the people living there were primarily Polynesians known as Hawaiians.

The Hawaiian population was organized into chiefdoms, with a rich tradition of oral history and religious practices.
Chiefdoms emerged around 7,000 to 5,000 years ago in various regions around the world, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Mesoamerica. They were characterized by a central leader or chief who held significant power over a group of people.
