a) Participation and interaction:
Every member of society should participate in the activities of the society according to his or her individual expectations. Society does not operate as an uncoordinated mass. It operates through its social systems or groups, each with specific functional expectations. Each member's action and reaction has an influence on the entire society. The participation of individuals and the collective group becomes an essential ingredient in the continued existence of society.

b) Cohesion:
If society or a social unit is to exist and maintain continuity, all members of the sub-systems must be bound together. There should be resistance to division, thereby creating cohesion.

c) Conformity:
To preserve the existence and continuity of society or any social unit, all members are expected to conform to the established norms.

d) Cooperation:
Every member of society has a status or statuses. To each status is attached a certain prescribed role to be played as a member's contribution to the system or society. These roles are played in cooperation with others who are playing similar roles. For people to cooperate, they must play roles towards the attainment of the collective goal.
