From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A society is a body of humans generally seen as a community or group of humans - or other organisms of a single species - that is outlined by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, or eusociality. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture or institutions. Like other groups, a society allows its individual members to achieve individual needs or wishes that they could not fulfill separately by themselves, without the existence of the social group. Society, however, may be unique in that it is ontologically independent of, and utterly irreducible to, the qualities of its constituent individuals. As a reality sui generis, or "of its own kind", it is emergently composed of social facts that often hinder rather than help the pursuits of the subjects that form its physical and psychological underpinnings. More broadly, a society is an economic, social or industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied multitude of individuals. Members of a society may be from different ethnic groups. A society may be a particular ethnic group, such as the Saxons; a nation state, such as Bhutan; a broader cultural group, such as a Western society; or even a social organism such as an ant colony. The word society may also refer to an organized voluntary association of people for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes. Sociology is the study of society and social behavior. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "society" What society has been discovering about you? Q. We all live in society, the society has to offer many things. At the same time, society evaluates you as a 'thing'. In other words, it finds out what are you are made up of, what you like to take from society, what you can offer etc... as per as the particular society is concerned. Yes, we live in many societies simultaneously and each society may have different opinion/discovery about you. Asked by space - Thu Oct 16 21:59:52 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. the society hardly discovers anything. it is only individuals who by their word and deed introduce themselves and even market themselves. on social relations, it is the constant interactions that determine acceptability or otherwise. Only parents or guardians take active interest during childhood. to others, a person actively introduces himself. others need no discover anything.

To what extent does society respond to deviances and how it restores and disrupts social order? Thanks! :) Asked by ~Stabbing the Drama~ - Wed Oct 22 19:57:02 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. depends on how you define deviance i guess :) are you defining it morally, religiously, or purely from a criminal justice perspective? depending on the definitions and the era in society you are concentrating on, one man's deviancy is another man's employment :) political implications may also depend on whether such 'deviancy' disrupts or restores social order - example, 'moral outrage'! hope this helps Answered by hi! iq - Wed Oct 22 21:15:52 2008 What responsibility do we have to society?
