Society

Society refers to a group of individuals who share a common geographic territory, culture, and social structures, interacting with one another through various relationships and institutions. It encompasses the patterns of relationships, norms, values, and practices that individuals develop to coexist. Societies can vary significantly in size, complexity, and organization, ranging from small communities to vast nations. They are characterized by social hierarchies, economic systems, governance structures, and cultural expressions, which all contribute to the identity and cohesion of the group. The study of society, often conducted within the field of sociology, explores how societies are formed, maintained, and transformed, as well as how individuals navigate their roles within them.
