What advancement of social structure does Ayutthaya have?

Social structure is a systematical way of the society and that’s the thing that man should follow and if we are out of that systematical way of life then we will be in trouble. And that’s why we have to learn the social structure. When we interact with people or society or environment we must follow a certain form of conduct, or certain principle of that society because we belong to it.

Every single man has his own role to play in certain society, in our day today life we have our own position and status to stand with. We must know the different structure of our society, and knowing is not enough, we have to put them into practice with our daily life society.

From the lecture given by the school director on the role of Wat Yai Chaimongkol School within local context covering the topics like the curriculum development, Buddhism education/project, community participation, social unity, government subsidy and support from Wat Yai Chaimongkol, and also got an introduction to various issues concerning Thai youth such as game addiction, domestic violence, social discrimination etc

I got to understand that schools in ayutthaya province are playing a very important role of the society, such as:

·        The government wants the young students to learn the ways of living through five precepts.

·        Students are not only taught how to live in the society as a good Buddhist but also helps them to experience the peaceful ways of life through practice.

·        The rich men’s roles that were played earlier have been changed into school system and social system.

·        Schools are caring about the students need.

·        There is no individual power but emphasize on social power.

·        Parents have their own role to play with the children as true parents and the children also have their particular roles to play obediently.

·         There is a big economic problem in the ayuthaya province, so parents have to find a way to feed their children.

·        Parents have to find a way to solve the children’s problem.

·        Rich people must support the school without consuming the properties individually.

·        From the young age, Students are thought how to live together like brother and sister in the school.

·        Schools teach the traditional things. Such as music, dance, arts, and etc.

·        From very young age student are thought to homage and respect the Buddha’s statues following the traditions.

·        And the schools teach according to five Buddhist precepts (PaJcasila).

·        Which shows that when these five precepts are performed and practiced we surely will have no problem within us.

People are satisfied with whatever earning they have. Ayuthaya is a good society which unifies without concerning who is rich or who is poor.

So as schools are playing the great part of social structure, I believe that ayuthaya people will be very good, easy going, friendly, helpful to others, an understandable person, if they follow their own particular roles in the society they will surely be an exemplary person to others. People don’t need to tell us what our role is. We must think and get adjusted to it intrinsically following the five precepts.
