From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A society is a body of individuals of a species, generally seen as a community or group, that is outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, comprising also possible characters or conditions such as cultural identity, social solidarity, 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. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Society" What was society's reaction to the invention of the birth control pill in the 1960s? Q. Did most people support it? Are there any websites that describe what took place in society when the pill was introduced? Asked by r h - Sat Jul 18 23:16:50 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Thunderous denunciations and Chicken Little predictions that the Pill would cause the sky to fall from pulpits all over the country. People did freak out about it, but it kind of got folded into the generalized outrage expressed by conservatives at the thought of the women's rights movement. Women thinking they're equal!! Imagine that!! There was so much social change going on - civil rights, women's rights, opposition to the war, youth rebellion - that it kind of got crowded off the radar a bit. Young women supported it enthusiastically...so did young men. Many older women were relieved that their daughters weren't going to be forced into marriage because of unplanned pregnancies. Older men had the most trouble with it. Answered by Jaydens Aunt - Sat Jul 18 23:31:24 2009 What is the relationship between business and society? Q. I am writing a paper on the relationship between business and society. I know how these entities relate to one another but I need to locate three articles (sources) to critique. The paper is short and I've pretty much have it covered, except that I can't seem to find the three articles I need to corroborate my paper. I've Googled it, asked Jeeves, checked Wikipedia, but can't seem to find anything.

Q. What are the benefits of a society with a free market instead of government directed economics? Why are government directed economics inferior? Thanks so much for your help, and please, be as elaborate as you want Asked by kaitie - Thu Feb 5 17:13:50 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Centrally planned economies aren't able to respond to the market like free market economies are able to. In CP economies the government decides what goods to produce, how to produce them, and who receives them. Factories and the such are ran by government employees who receive their orders from the government. This is inefficient because people may want different things and the factories can't change until directed so by the goverment. In centrally planned economies there is a lack of growth and innovation and the standard of living is low compared to persons in market economies. Market economies allow decisions to be made by households and firms interacting. The benefits of a market economy include property rights, privatization of… [cont.] Answered by freebilly33 - Thu Feb 5 18:14:03 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Society" Quotes about society.
