From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A Society or a human society is a group of people related to each other through persistent relations such as social status, roles and social networks. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals sharing a distinctive culture and institutions. Without an article, the term refers either to the entirety of humanity or a contextually implicit subset. Used in the sense of an association, a society is a body of individuals outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, possibly comprising characteristics such as national or cultural identity, social solidarity, language or hierarchical organization.

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 collection 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. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How does modern society affect human evolution? Q. In the past, having a useful attribute increased your chance of surviving, whereas in modern society, it increased your chance of having a better life. For example, being strong or being smart in the past meant there was more likelihood you could survive, whereas in modern society weak members of society are protected and everyone has equal opportunity to mate. The other thing in modern society is that people tend to marry people they have similiar qualities. For example, good looking people tend to marry other good looking people, smart people tend to marry other smart people. Short people will marry other short people. In addition, people who mate will more likely bring up children that have similar qualities to them. Wouldn't… [cont.] Asked by junkette - Wed May 6 12:07:22 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hasn't worked that way so far has it? Think about it, we've been hanging around in tribal groups for about a million and a half years so far and we're still one race. Despite natural selection, the mating of two stupid people doesn't mean that their offspring is too stupid to survive. Evolution doesn't pick for the "survival of the fittest," it picks for the survival of the fit enough, a subtle but important distinction. No one knows where the human race will be a few million years from now. Especially since we are a species that is more then willing to adjust our environment to our needs, rather then the opposite.

It seems to me that indoctrination is becoming more prevalent in our society. What are your thoughts? Even if you haven't read Farenheit 451, answer anyway.

Out of the classic dystopias--Farenheit 451, Anthem, 1984, and Brave New World, I think America most resembles Brave New World although it incorporates aspects of all four books, especially Orwell's "doublespeak". Answered by Honestly, now - Sun Mar 29 16:28:36 2009 What did high society women of the late 1930s wear while pregnant?
Q. I'm in a play and my character is pregnant. It takes place in 1936-1939. I've researched maternity wear for the 1930s but I seem to find only middle-class homemaker maternity clothes. Can you help me find images for a high society pregnant woman? If anyone has a link to maternity fashions for high society women in the late 30s, that would be most helpful.
