What is a Society? "He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need

because he is sufficient for himself, must be either abeast or a god." — Abigail Adams on Society 

The word “society” emerged in the 15th century from the

latin word “societus” and “socius” 

Means a group of people which have a semi-closed socialsystem.

Society is the actual arrangement of social relations

while culture is made up of beliefs and symbolic forms. Common Interests, Distinctive cultures and Institutions
