In the philosophy of society is defined as "a dynamic system."The word "system" is translated from the Greek as "a whole consisting of parts."Society as a dynamic system includes parts, components, subsystems, interacting with each other, as well as connections and relationships between them.It is changing, evolving, emerging and disappearing old parts or subsystems, they mutate, acquiring new forms and quality.
society as a dynamic system has a complex layered structure and includes a large number of levels, sublevels elements.For example, the human society on a global scale includes many companies in the form of different countries, which in turn are composed of different social groups, and are included.
structure of the Company consists of four subsystems, which are the main spheres of human activity - political, economic, social and spiritual.Each sphere has its own structure and also a complicated system.For example, the political sphere is a system consisting of a huge number of components - the party, the government, parliament, civil society organizations and others.But the government can also be seen as a system with many components.
Each sphere of society is in relation to the whole of society subsystem, but at the same time itself - a fairly complex system.Thus, we have a hierarchy of systems and subsystems themselves, that is, in other words speaking, society - a complex system of systems, a kind of super system or, as is sometimes said, metasystem.
Society as a complex dynamic system characterized by the presence within it of the various elements, both tangible (buildings, technical systems, institutions, organizations) and ideal (ideas, values, customs, traditions, mentality).For example, the economic subsystem includes organizations, banks, transport, manufactured goods and services and, at the same time, economic knowledge, laws, values, and more.
society as a dynamic system contains a special element which is its basic, fundamental element.This is - a person with free will, the ability to set a goal and to choose the means to achieve this goal, making social systems more agile, dynamic than, say, natural.
life of society as a social system is constantly in motion.The pace, scope and quality of these changes may be different;in the history of humanity was a time when the established order of things has not changed fundamentally over the centuries, however, over time, the pace of change began to grow.Compared with the natural systems in the human society, qualitative and quantitative changes occur much faster, which means that society is constantly changing and is in development.
Society, as, indeed, any system is an ordered totality.This means that elements of the system are located within it at a certain position and to a greater or lesser extent related to other elements.Consequently, the company as a complete dynamic system has a certain quality that characterizes it as a whole, has a property that does not have any of its elements.This property is sometimes called nonadditivity system.
Society how dynamic system is characterized by another feature, which is that it refers to the number of self-managed and self-organizing systems.This function belongs to the political subsystem, which gives coherence and harmonious relationship all the elements forming the system of social integrity.
