Abstract:
The relations of production are the social relationships between humans, particularly
the relationship of each class of humans to the means of production, which includes the
ownership of productive facilities and the division of the fruits of productive activity.
Simply put, the relations of production refer to the class structure of society. The class
structure of society comprises the class that controlled the means of production and received
most of the benefits and privileges of the system, and the much larger class they controlled
and exploited.
This research paper is the documentation of a case study on the relations of
production in the farming community of Barangay Didipio. More specifically, this research
paper presents a validation of the theory of class relations with an emphasis on the said
barangay. After examining this research paper, the reader is expected to understand the
nature of class relations and how these are said to affect the socioeconomic conditions of the
concerned classes. Apart from this understanding of the theoretical aspect of class relations,
this research paper then presents to the reader a validation of the theory by contrasting it with
the social reality in the said barangay.
