One Time, I asked my friends, what is society? Is it just "people"? What I always failed to understand, is if it is just people, then how come we have "other societies"?
On Wikipedia, society is defined as
A society is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations.
What one of my friends said was :
society is all households in a country together that have have general ideas that are shared over the whole country something along those lines
A Rebuttal to both, is that they both mention geography, or "country", but how come you see people always saying "We are members of society" and not "We are members of an English/American/Norwegian Society"?
So what really is society? Presuming there is not a wrong answer, my answer is that :
A society is a group of people that are with people of the same ideologies and as a human race, we have some of the same ideologies, for example, we all think that we deserve something at some point, but what we deserve is different. So It is my belief that there is a huge society : humans, and then mini societies such as "American Society", and "English Society", when all of them are combined, it makes up the one big society.
