Societies have been in existence for milleniums. They form the building block of most cultures . While cultures tend to have unique language, food habits etc, the differences between societies are more subtle. There are unwritten rules of conduct and people are expected to follow certain norms. People who dont conform to such practices are often subjected to social ostracism. In some cases, a person may be expected to share the ills of the society in the name of social unity. Most of such societies are conservative in nature and are more interested in preserving some antique practices for reasons only god knows.
In spite of all such drawbacks , most societies are very stable and are successful in withstanding occasional hiccups. First of all , people perceive their societies as some sort of safety valve and moreover,it provides them a platform to be in their comfort zone when things change at a fiery pace in the outside world.
The law of infinite interactions among the members of a society make them abide to its norms and behave as a well knit unit . Societies will continue to exist and shape human destiny in unknown ways.
