A society is a body of individuals that is outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, comprising also possible characteristics or conditions such as national or cultural identity, social solidarity, or eusociality. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture and institutions. Like other communities or groups, a society allows its individual members to achieve needs or wishes that they could not fulfill separately by themselves without the existence of solidarity. Society, however, can be ontologically 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 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. 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.

What is the oldest secret society in the world?
Q. I understand that to be a "True" secreat society you would still be a secret but, historicly speaking who is it. I have found that almost all secret societies are some how tied to the "masons" The Knights templar are suposed to be the forefathers to the masons. There are even ties to Tamar and the priory of sion. What's the truth? If anyone says "Fight Club" I'm going to hurt you.

A. The Masonic Order actually predates the Knights Templar, at least in their history or pseudo-history, by about two thousand years ... so they would have to be the first. Did you know Dan Brown's next book is on the Masons and on Washington DC and the US Government? I can't wait for it to come out.

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

What is it about the society in Singapore that makes people stressed and unhappy?
Q. What are your views on the society or cultural problems/issues in Singapore that makes Singaporeans stressful, unhappy and dissatisfied with life?
Asked by ThUNDeRLuN - Wed Aug 20 11:24:28 2008 - - 6 Answers - 6 Comments

A. I guess its all started with MONEY and the culture of trying to be better then others as the 2 root cause. Everyone is chasing for money in a way.. Almost 90% of singaporean is in some form of financial debt or loans to pay. Housing loan, car loan, bills, daily expenses, credit card bills, etc. constant striving for better job with higher pay, urging kids to better school to get a degree for better job, Also tight gov rule are not helping. too much control with little or not outlet for common folks to let off steam. Every measure from Gov have to do with money by playing our vanity..owning cars and upping erp. owning lift that goes to every floor..getting larger homes.. basically, there is no safety net available to common folks...no job… [cont.]

Keep out of our village.
