A society is a body of humans generally seen as a community or group of humans - or other organisms of a single species - that is outlined by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, 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.

How do music reflects society and in what ways?
Q. From different generations, from baroque to nowadays. How do music reflect society and in what ways?
Asked by Rolf S. - Tue Feb 17 10:33:24 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Music helps some people concentrate & mellow out. Like for me, when I'm mad or sad, I turn on my ipod and I'm a little better. For most artists, music is how it expresses them. Sometimes we all have the same feeling & so when I listen to that song we're thinking the same thing. Music can also get you pumped up for some other things also. <3

Q. How come are society pushes you to go to college? Then when you graduate college the same society don t care? Why is this/that?

A. Going to college means learning enough to make it on your own. Getting ahead so you don't need to be coddled by society anymore. And you can start giving back. College is about moving beyond where you came from into society and becoming the one who cares.

Keep out of our village.
