Society is the main focus of the study of sociology. The famous philosopher Aristotle said, "Man is a social creature, he cannot live without society." In sociology, the word "society" is a key term. It comes from the Latin word ‘socius’, which means ‘companionship’. From this, we can understand the importance of society in human life.
Sociologists have defined sociology in different ways:
1) MacIver says, society is a web of different social relations.
2) According to Lapierre, society not only studies people but also studies the effects and interrelationships of different behaviors, customs, etiquette, etc. on human beings.
3) Ginsberg says that a society is a combination of different behaviors of different people that form human relationships with people.
The main topic of sociology is society, so it needs to have a clear idea. From birth to death, the child lives in the society, the society educates the child. Society has come to meet the various needs and wants of the people. No group of people can be called a society. Society is an interconnected social entity. Society refers to a public gathering organized for the same purpose.
