The cast system was practically no different from the class system of most civilized societies. It was a system of governance that is demonstrated in colonies of ants and bees. It was also generic to the hieratical systems used to classify workers, with respect to their academic achievements and social status. As a result of human greed and vanity it developed into an extremely oppressive system of discrimination and tyranny. In today's society we basically have the Upper Class, the Middle Class and the Lower Class. The upper class has created structures that engage in preferential treatment for their clan. Form the education of their children to the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the way they socialize, their security, their health care and their preferential influence. There is a system called democracy, which is purported to engender social equity and parity but you can discern a sinister capitalist agenda dictating Governmental policies. Sometimes the determination of an operating system as good or bad relies upon the integrity of the operator. In today's society, we are grouped into Upper class, Middle class and Lower class - mainly by the money we earn and by the background and education we have had. However, the caste system is not organised by money, this is one of the wonderful aspects of the caste system; money had no role in determining the fate of a person. A rich trader (Vaishya), however rich he was, was still a trader. A warrior (Kshatriya) could enjoy power and respect, but earned them only by fighting and defending the Brahmins, Vaishyas and Shudras. A Brahmin was not closest to Moksha because of his money - the Brahmins live the life of a frugal person without any luxuries - but because of his beliefs.
social environment of the Philippines is being classified in culture and people, wherein the culture of the people will be defined as follows:The Filipino is basically of Malay stock with a sprinkling of Chinese, American, Spanish and Arab blood. The Philippines has a population of 70 million, and it is hard to distinguish accurately the lines between stocks. From a long history of Western colonial rule, interspersed with the visits of merchants and traders, evolved a people of a unique blend of east and west, both in appearance and culture.The Filipino character is actually a little bit of all the cultures put together. The bayanihan or spirit of kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for is said to be taken from Malay forefathers. The close family relations are said to have been inherited from the Chinese. The piousness comes from the Spaniards who introduced Christianity in the 16th century. Hospitality is a common denominator in the Filipino character and this is what distinguishes the Filipino. Filipinos are probably one of the few, if not the only, English-proficient Oriental people today. Pilipino is the official national language, with English considered as the country's unofficial one.The Filipinos are divided geographically and culturally into regions, and each regional group is recognizable by distinct traits and dialects - the sturdy and frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs of the central plains, the carefree Visayans from the central islands and the colorful tribesmen and religious Moslems of Mindanao. Tribal communities can be found scattered across the archipelago. The Philippines has more than 111 dialects spoken, owing to the subdivisions of these basic regional and cultural groups.Some 80 percent of the population is Catholic, Spain's lasting legacy. About 15 percent is Moslem and these people can be found basically in Mindanao. The rest of the population is made up mostly of smaller Christian denominations and Buddhist.The country is marked by a true blend of cultures; truly in the Philippines, East meets West. The background of the people is Indonesian and Malay. There are Chinese and Spanish elements as well. The history of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of East and West, both in the appearance and culture of the people of the Filipinos, or people of the Philippines.Hospitality, a trait displayed by every Filipino, makes these people legendary in Southeast Asia. Seldom can you find such hospitable people who enjoy the company of their Western visitors. Perhaps due to their long association with Spain, Filipinos are emotional and passionate about life in a way that seems more Latin than Asian.The Spaniards introduced Christianity (the Roman Catholic faith) and succeeded in converting the overwhelming majority of Filipinos. At least 80% of the total population belongs to the Roman Catholic faith.The American occupation was responsible for teaching the Filipino people the English language. The Philippines is currently the third-largest English speaking country in the world.Ethnic Groups:91.5% Christian Malay, 4% Muslim Malay ,1.5% Chinese and 3% other.Languages:The national language is Pilipino, which is based on the language of Tagalog, although there are at least one or two dialects spoken in every region. English is both spoken and understood throughout the country, especially in business negotiations and in the government. Hokkien, Cantonese and Mandarin are spoken by older members of the Filipino-Chinese community.Religion: 83% Roman Catholic, 9% Protestant, 5% Muslim, 3% Buddhist and other.
