How does one define society?

Answer 1

A group of people that belong in town, city or country.

That live and work a cohabit together, a community or an organized group of people for some common purpose.

Answer 2

Well according to the websters dictionary, it states:

The totality of social relationships among humans.

A group of humans broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests, participation in characteristic relationships, shared institutions, and a common culture.

The institutions and culture of a distinct self-perpetuating group.

An organization or association of persons engaged in a common profession, activity, or interest: a folklore society; a society of bird watchers.

The rich, privileged, and fashionable social class.

The socially dominant members of a community.

Companionship; company: enjoys the society of friends and family members.

Biology A colony or community of organisms, usually of the same species: an insect society.

I would say that any group of people that live under the same social structure, regardless of race, age, national origin, or religious beliefs, is a society.

Social: to mingle, to interact the root word. Hence: people drawn together under a common place: society.
