A Society or a human society is a group of people related to each other through persistent relations such as social status, roles and social networks. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals sharing a distinctive culture and institutions. Without an article, the term refers either to the entirety of humanity or a contextually implicit subset.

Used in the sense of an association, a society is a body of individuals outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, possibly comprising characteristics such as national or cultural identity, social solidarity, language or hierarchical organization. Like other groupings, a society allows its members to achieve needs or wishes they could not fulfill alone. independent of, and utterly irreducible to, the qualities of constituent individuals; it may act to oppress. The urbanization and rationalization inherent in some, particularly Western capitalist, societies, has been associated with feelings of isolation and social "anomie".

More broadly, a society is an economic, social or industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied collection 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. The word society may also refer to an organized voluntary association of people for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes. A "society" may even, though more by means of metaphor, refer to a social organism such as an ant colony.

SOCIETY.................. .?
Q. Do you think Society is evil, do you think it brings the worst out on people, or the good? Thanks.

A. I'd really need your definition of society. Well first, I don't think 'evil' exists. Secondly, in terms of society being civilization, nature can bring out what one might conceive to be the worst too. Ever seen a hungry lion's interaction with an antelope? Not very pretty, but very natural though. It is common knowledge that eating another living person, is a bad or wrong thing. My main point is that like nature, society can seem a bad thing but it also has it's perks. Also, society is driven and maintained by nature, they're not very far apart, in my opinion. (Now, concerning bombs and guns not being natural, they're just tools too commonly available for all the people that don't know how to act civilized but I don't think they should be… [cont.]

When did society begin to realise that feminism is a movement of paedophelia and abusiveness?
Q. When did society begin to realise that feminism is a movement of paedophelia and abusiveness? Feminism is fundamentally a sexist, sex-based, and sex-biased ideological credo based on fear and hatred of men and boys. Paedophilia and abusiveness are just part and parcel of that.

A. OK so we know about The Vagina Monologues "One of the most disturbing scenes in the play is titled "The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could" ... In this monologue an adult woman joyfully recounts the story of how, as a 13-year-old girl, she was supplied with alcohol and raped by a 24-year-old woman And in another monologue the audience are invited to join in chanting 'c***' together at the end. Also the offender is female in 1 in 3 cases of non-forcible sex crimes against boys aged 0-11 years old according to data from the US 2000 National Incident-Based Reporting System (McCloskey & Raphael 2005, p.16). However the offender in non-forcible sex crimes by women against boys aged 12-17 is 11 times more likely to be female than male. Yes… [cont.]

A. it isnt important to society if gays marry... although they would have you believe so. this county is a christian country founded on christsian principles and according to most christian beliefs as well as what is plainly written in the Bible, homosexuality is a sin. i more than anyone believe that gov't and religion shouldnt mix but allowing gays the same rights as non gays kinda sets the tone that it is ok to be gay...and well, its not. for a select vocal minority to insist that i go against what i believe God wants just to politically legitimize their alternative lifestyle is unamerican. if you are gay, then be gay...dont get me to agree with it or expect me to pay for your lifestyle thru my taxes or the rise in cost for my insurance or… [cont.]
