From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A society is a body of humans generally seen as a community or group of humans - or other organisms of a single species - that is outlined by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, 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

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.

When did society begin to realise that feminism is a movement of paedophelia and abusiveness? Feminism is fundamentally a sexist, sex-based, and sex-biased ideological credo based on fear and hatred of men and boys. Paedophilia and abusiveness are just part and parcel of that.

OK so we know about The Vagina Monologues "One of the most disturbing scenes in the play is titled "The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could" ... In this monologue an adult woman joyfully recounts the story of how, as a 13-year-old girl, she was supplied with alcohol and raped by a 24-year-old woman And in another monologue the audience are invited to join in chanting 'c***' together at the end. Also the offender is female in 1 in 3 cases of non-forcible sex crimes against boys aged 0-11 years old according to data from the US 2000 National Incident-Based Reporting System (McCloskey & Raphael 2005, p.16).

Q. If something has got any of the Christian logos on it, then it can t possibly be bad. Does this false assumption exist in the collective consciousness of Western society? And does this false assumption provide a cloak for the actions of the true evil doers in society; the religious con artists, the saboteurs of the education system, the child abusers, the unethical politicians and the hinderers of science?
