Society refers to a group of individuals who share a common culture, values, and norms, and who interact with each other within a specific geographical area. Social groups are smaller subsets of society that are formed based on shared interests, beliefs, or activities. These groups can be formal, such as clubs or organizations, or informal, such as friendship circles or families.
Social institutions are established systems or structures within society that fulfill specific functions and roles. These institutions help to organize and regulate social behavior, and include institutions such as government, education, religion, and the economy. They provide the framework within which individuals interact and function within society.
Together, society, social groups, and social institutions shape the way individuals interact with each other, form relationships, and navigate the world around them. They play a crucial role in shaping social norms, values, and behaviors, and help to maintain order and stability within a community.
