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.

What is the oldest secret society in the world?
Q. I understand that to be a "True" secreat society you would still be a secret but, historicly speaking who is it. I have found that almost all secret societies are some how tied to the "masons" The Knights templar are suposed to be the forefathers to the masons. There are even ties to Tamar and the priory of sion. What's the truth? If anyone says "Fight Club" I'm going to hurt you.

A. The Masonic Order actually predates the Knights Templar, at least in their history or pseudo-history, by about two thousand years ... so they would have to be the first. Did you know Dan Brown's next book is on the Masons and on Washington DC and the US Government? I can't wait for it to come out.

What are some reasons for society to accept and reject gay couples?
Q. My partner and I are a couple - a homesexual or a gay couple. we just want to be together without hiding all the time. I can't even tell my family about my relationship and they don't even know that i'm a gay. I wonder why society isn't more understanding. why can't people accept homosexual?
Asked by miyan - Sun Aug 17 03:49:18 2008 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments

A. There are a whole bunch of archaic reasons to fear homos. The most prominent one you hear is religion. Almost every faith says something here or there about gay people being bad people, but if you wanna talk about religion then there are a whole bunch of contradictions there. I usually just say "Love thy neighbor" and walk on, but if people want to get feisty with me one that one I just bring up the whole "slavery is ok, but shaving is forbidden, oh and all women are supposed to cover their heads at all times, and no one is allowed to eat meat on fridays." The other part is the general social stigma of fearing something that you don't understand. I don't get how men can be attracted to women, but it's the norm, whereas other people don't… [cont.]

Keep out of our village.
