Society refers to the collective organization and functioning of individuals living together in a community. It encompasses the norms, values, customs, and institutions that shape human behavior and interactions. Society provides a framework for people to share resources, ideas, and services, as well as establish social roles and hierarchies. It often involves a complex web of relationships and systems that regulate social order and maintain harmony. Societies are diverse and can vary greatly depending on cultural, political, and economic factors. The study of society, known as sociology, explores the dynamics and structure of these social systems, aiming to understand and improve human relations.
