What is society?

[Aphex_Twin]

It's such a used term and hardly defined. What do you think 'society' is?

Is it a 'being', does it have a 'will', a 'consciousness', 'rights'?

What is the relationship with the individual or with other societies?

 

[nonconformist]

Society is overrated.

 

[Communisto]

society is a desease

community is what we need

 

[Ayatollah So]

Socities have fuzzy borders. Just like individual persons have fuzzy borders, only societies are fuzzier.

 

[Elrohir]

Society is the collection of human beings in which we live.

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

Socisty is useless.

It's such a used term and hardly defined. What do you think 'society' is?

What is the relationship with the individual or with other societies?

It's the thing that stops us beating each other over the head for loose change.

If an individual reaches that stage, they have essentially given up on society. Quite often because society has given up on them in the first place.

 

[ComradeDavo]

Society is a collection of individuals who are all linked by interaction with another, some in a proffesional capacity and others in a sociable capacity.

Society is human interaction.

 

[Gothmog]

If we are all raindrops then society is the storm.

Society exists to improve the human condition.

Society is an expression of the collective behaviors that humans exhibit. The group is much more powerful than the collection of individuals.

 

[Mise]

Society represents our pooled resources.

 

[marshal zhukov]

Society is a product of the division of labor, a process that started when humans realized that working together they would be better off than alone.

Divison of Labor still goes on today and intensified in the last 200 years.
Without the need for Division of Labor I would see no need for society.

I reached that conclusion just now, , so, am I wrong?
