SOCIETY AND IT’S INSTITUTIONS
Introduction
A society consists of groups of human beings who are linked together by means of specific systems and customs, rites and laws, and have a collective social existence. Collective life is that in which groups of people live together in a particular region, and share the same climate and similar foodstuffs.
Human life is social in the sense that it is essentially gregarious (fond of company; sociable). On the one hand human needs, benefits, satisfactions, work, and activity are social in essence, and the social system cannot be maintained but through division of labour, division of profits and a shared common satisfaction of needs within a particular set of traditions and systems. On the other hand, specific ideas and ideals, temperaments, and habits govern human beings in general, giving them a sense of unity and integration. In other words, society represents a group of human beings, who, under the compulsion of a series of requirements and under the influence of a set of beliefs, ideals and goals, are amalgamated with one another and are immersed in a continuum of collective life.
A society is a group of individuals sharing the same behavior and environment. It is groups bound together by social, political, economic, cultural ecological/technical factors. The groups of individuals are unified by a common objective to be attained. Such objectives include;
Relationships – the quality of people’s social, family and interpersonal relationships; the extent to which society is coherent and harmonious.
Economy – people’s degree of economic prosperity and spending power; the extent to which jobs are rewarding and offer potential for growth and development.
Environment and Infrastructure – the pleasantness and sustainability of the natural environment; the degree to which the built environment is pleasant and functions well and extent to which the infrastructure is effective and efficient.
Health – whether people
