Society is a collective of individuals sharing a common culture and social structure, ranging from small communities to large nations. It involves social norms, values, and institutions that shape human behavior, fostering order and cooperation. Societal elements include governance, economics, and culture, creating a framework for daily life. Sociology studies these aspects to understand social structures, inequalities, and cultural dynamics.
