Abstract

This article is an attempt to extract and compile Alameh's view on social status of human and its implications , through an analytical methodology, in the curriculum of social education. The findings revealed that social theorists have  different views on the relations between society and the human. Some give priority to individuals while some others  emphasize society; Among them, Alameh's view enjoys a novel and innovative stance, relied on Islamic anthropology and social thoughts, as it well portrays the social status of human. In his view, the relations between society and individual is mutual and deep wherein each supports the development of the other and at the same time are responsible for their own developments. Such orientation requires basic changes in social education programs, contrary to what is current in the present educational systems which do not educate the individual for servicing the society nor does view the society as a tool in his hand
