Society is a grouping of individuals which is characterized by common interests and may have distinctive culture and institutions. Members of a society may be from different ethnic groups. A society may be a particular people, such as the Saxons, a nation state, such as Bhutan, or a broader cultural group, such as a Western society.
According to a sociologist Richard Jenkins, addresses a number of important existential issues facing people: How humans think and exchange information – the sensory world makes up only a fraction of human experience. In order to understand the world, we have to conceive of human interaction in the abstract (i.e., society).
Many phenomena cannot be reduced to individual behavior – to explain certain conditions, a view of something "greater than the sum of its parts" is needed. Collectives often endure beyond the lifespan of individual members.
The human condition has always meant going beyond the evidence of our senses; every aspect of our lives is tied to the collective (Society, 2008. par.1-4).
