| Subject: A society or a human society Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:44 am | |
| A society or a human society is: (1) a group of people related to each other through persistent relations; (2) a large social grouping that shares the same geographical or virtual territory, subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. The term society came from the Latin word societas, which in turn was derived from the noun socius ("comrade, friend, ally"; adjectival form socialis) thus used to describe a bond or interaction among parties that are friendly, or at least civil. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals sharing a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. Without an article, the term refers either to the entirety of humanity or to a contextually specific subset of people. In social sciences, a society invariably entails social stratification and/or dominance hierar water ionizersKitchen Organizer | |
