Answer 4

Man needs some social interaction. For any individual, social facility is an objective strategic value. Moreover, given the right people, sociability can be a pleasure. Man does not have automatic knowledge of what is the right food to eat, but foods that are good for him generally taste and smell good, and foods that are not good, even though not deadly, have ill effects from which he learns soon enough. Man's nature determines what foods are of value to him, and his mind and body function so as to discriminate what is good or bad through pleasure and pain. More generally, man does not have automatic knowledge of what to value, but man's actual needs are set by his nature.

man gets enjoyment from the appreciation of others through verbal expressions and, especially, through the actions and emotional reactions of others. Men seem to be tuned into the emotional reactions of others. On occasion men can experience these reactions viscerally -- in their guts. Another's response seems to be able to affect emotions very directly. It appears that certain facial expressions, tones of voice, and body postures can themselves induce pleasure and pain. Society is a human value. Since the mind is an individual function, independence is also a value. Flourishing requires social interaction and independence.

Answer 5

We live in groups with other members of our species who we aren't related to or mated with, and we rely on them for protection and help. Chimps, dolphins, lemurs, elephants- they're also social animals. Same with wolves and dogs. Any animal that either wouldn't survive or would have a very tough go of it without some others of its kind around them is a social animal. A solitary human may be able to eke out an existence with only him or herself, but they would be lonely and miserable at best, or they would slowly go insane at worst.

Answer 9

hi

yes man is called social being because unlike animals he cannot lead his life all on his own. A child needs to be brought up in the society for it to learn to talk, and lead a life. Man needs the support of his fellow men for most of the things and he in turn supports them. Ofcourse we do see some animals which are more united than human beings but, Men are called social beings as they need each other in almost every step of their life

Unless others tell what to eat and what not to eat, we cannot judge by ourself what is edible and what is not edible, where as animals will know that by their biological organs itself

thus we need elders to teach us, and in turn we support the young beings

On one level, man's needs, feelings and desires cause him to act for his own benefit and without regard for the needs and wishes of others. Man uses every means to fulfil his own needs: he uses every kind of transport to reach his destination; he uses the leaves, stems and fruit of plants and trees; he lives upon the meat of animals and their products, and takes advantage of a multitude of other things to complement his own deficiencies in certain respects. Can man, whose state is such that he uses everything he finds to his own ends, be expected to respect another human being? Can he extend his hand to another in co-operation and turn a blind eye to his own desire for the sake of mutual benefit?

The answer in the first instance must be no. It is as a result of man's countless needs, which can never be fulfilled by himself alone, that he recognizes the possibility of fulfilling them through the help and co-operation of others. Similarly, he understands that his own strengths, desires and wishes are also shared by others, and just as he defends his own interests so others defend theirs.

Thus, out of necessity, he co-operates with the social nexus and gives a certain measure of his own efforts to fulfill the needs of others; in return he benefits from the efforts of others in order to full fill his own needs. In truth he has entered into a market-place of social wealth, always open to traders and offering all the benefits obtained by the collective work of the society. All these factors are placed together in this market- place of pooled human resources and each person, according to the importance society attaches to his work, has a share in these benefits.
