Study Notes
State and Non-State Institutions
- States worldwide establish government agencies to meet the needs of their population.
- Democratic societies allow businesses, individuals, corporations, and nonprofits to provide goods and services.
- A country can be compared to a family, with either authoritarian or lenient approaches.
- Parents generally provide for their family's needs, including feeding, clothing, education, shelter, medicine, and emergency savings.
- Despite parents' efforts, some issues may remain unresolved within families.
- Children contribute to the family by being responsible and considerate.
- Governments ideally provide necessities by allocating resources to meet citizens' demands.
- Non-state institutions support the government by bridging the gap between the state and its people.
Types of State or Social Institutions

Communist Institutions
- Communist institutions are based on a command economy.
- Examples of communist countries are the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and North Korea.
- Communist governments do not allow private companies or individuals to conduct business, restricting citizens' choices.
Democratic Institutions
- Democratic institutions are based on a capitalist economy.
- The Philippines and the USA are examples of democratic countries.
