The Giver Society refers to people who interact in a defined territory and share culture. In Lois Lowry’s The Giver "1993‚" Jonas grows up only knowing the existence of his society. The society in which The Giver takes place is known as sameness. Everything is done the same‚ and nobody knows different.
