From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A society is a body of individuals of a species, generally seen as a community or group, that is outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, comprising also possible characters or conditions such as cultural identity, social solidarity, or eusociality. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture or institutions. Like other groups, a society allows its individual members to achieve individual needs or wishes that they could not fulfill separately by themselves, without the existence of the social group. Society, however, may be unique in that it is ontologically independent of, and utterly irreducible to, the qualities of its constituent individuals. As a reality sui generis, or "of its own kind", it is emergently composed of social facts that often hinder rather than help the pursuits of the subjects that form its physical and psychological underpinnings. More broadly, a society is an economic, social or industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied multitude 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; or even a social organism such as an ant colony. The word society may also refer to an organized voluntary association of people for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes. Sociology is the study of society and social behavior. From Wikipedia under the

Q. My partner and I are a couple - a homesexual or a gay couple. we just want to be together without hiding all the time.

Asked by miyan - Sun Aug 17 03:49:18 2008 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments A. There are a whole bunch of archaic reasons to fear homos. The most prominent one you hear is religion. Almost every faith says something here or there about gay people being bad people, but if you wanna talk about religion then there are a whole bunch of contradictions there. I usually just say "Love thy neighbor" and walk on, but if people want to get feisty with me one that one I just bring up the whole "slavery is ok, but shaving is forbidden, oh and all women are supposed to cover their heads at all times, and no one is allowed to eat meat on fridays."
