Society can not be placed under a definition, as the definition of it varies from person to person. Though commonly, people believe that society is made up of people. Whilst others believe that we are the population’s biggest group, containing people with all different religions, cultures, and places. However, we all live together, and although the world isn’t in complete harmony, every Black Lives Matter protest, every campaign to make the world a better place, every action we are doing to ensure that this world, our home is a more equal place is a success for society.
We all blame society, however, it is we people that make it. Moral behavior is what keeps society functioning. The reason why society has powered through so many centuries is that the majority of us can identify what is right and wrong. Even though society has been threatening us throughout history it is the fact that we have held together, stronger than ever.
Throughout evolution, society changes and evolves and grows. The social changes that occur are done so in an attempt to improve the living standards of society and by improving economic development. Social growth in turn should have positive effects on improving our health, environment, wellbeing, and equality.
Throughout history, the government and the general public have been instrumental in creating laws to create a better, fairer society, e.g. Child Protection legislation law and the equality act. Because of our inherent nature, every generation tries to improve on that of the one before, ensuring every action is a good one. Even within the past decade in the U.K, the 2010 Equality Act has come into place with its main purpose to legally protect people from discrimination in the workplace. This is just one example of many.
Therefore, society can be defined as many different things. Though, it is the people that help make the society. Societal growth is about the positive actions that society makes, and we are trying to make this world a better place. Societal Evolution
