THE CONCEPT OF SOCIETY AS AN OBJECTIVE


REALITY
The term “society” came from the Latin word societas,
which in turn was derived from the noun socius (“comrade,
friend, ally”) used to describe a bond or interaction
between parties that are friendly, or at least civil.
 
According to John Holmwood (2006),
The term “society” is used to describe a level of
organization of groups that is relatively self-contained.
However, the boundedness of groups is always relative
and so sociologists may refer to human society, where the
reference is to the interdependencies among all social
groups, or to subgroups such as family society, where the
reference is to the typical interactions among
the individuals making up a grouping of close kin (p. 592).
TO BE HUMAN IS TO BE SOCIAL.
TO BE SOCIAL IS TO LIVE IN A
SOCIETY.
But what is in a society that makes an infant fulfill its being
human?
 

Society is an entity that allows individuality yet


provides space for others, individuals, and groups to
pursue mutual goals and aspirations.
