Society and Social Organization

Synopsis: While society and culture are closely related, there are minute differences that separate the two. But what is society without culture? Society is the community that surrounds an individual. This community has its own personality and this is how culture is introduced. Many societies are organized in stratified classes and these different classes can cause issues in a society. The gap between the rich and poor classes can sometimes create lasting effects on the individuals that live in these class situations. How does society further affect the individual? This title aims to answer this question through providing readers with foundational information on what society means and how societies are organized. Photographs and fact boxes supplement information present in the text and will spark readers’ interest in learning more about the subject matter.
