Society

Societies are made up of a shifting number of individuals

Not all individuals within a society are in agreement with each other

Societies are organized into groups

Societies cannot want, think, desire, or act, they are ephemeral

Individuals and groups within societies want, think, desire, and act

Society is random, paradoxically, the more random a society is the more stable it is

Pleasing one group in a society displeases others

No society is without problems

All societies, of whatever size, sophistication or location, suffers from human frailties,
emotion and faith and problems at near the same constant rate through all history

The way society deals with these is culture, law and politics

Societies change over time

Societies are subject to collective emotion and faith, and culture

Societies do not have rights, only obligations
