What is a Society?
3:55:43 2023-08-27 257

Sociology defines society as “a group of people with a common territory, interaction, and culture ”. These groups consist of two or more varied people who interact and identify themselves with one another. In brief, these groups can be known as communities as well.

The etymology of the word society can be traced back to Latin. The Latin word sociatas, which in turn was derived from the noun sociusSocius means, comrade, friend, or ally; this describes a bond or interaction between parties that are friendly, or at least civil.

Hence, persistent social interactions with these varied communities is a fundamental aspect of society. Similarly, if there are no such healthy interactions among these groups or communities within a country, those groups cannot be considered a part of the same society. Therefore, barriers such as geographic distance and language differences can separate communities with society and similarly, societies within a country.

Thus, there are also similarities among these varied communities or groups in society as they share aspects of their common culture, such as language or beliefs. Hence, cultures become a defining element of society. Thus, social sciences highlight the fact that a larger society often exhibits a dominance or stratification patterns among its groups.

As a result, society has a much wider scope in comparison to community. A society has heterogeneity, and it easily embraces people having different conflicts and differences. Hence, likenesses, as well as conflicts, exist simultaneously within a society. However, since society is vast, there is every possibility of adjustment and cooperation between people. Furthermore, defined geographic locality is not an essential element for society, unlike for a community.
