concept "society" is considered in two main aspects.The first involves its philosophical explanation.In this aspect of society is called separate from the nature of part of the material world, which is a form of historical development and livelihoods.
in history, cultural studies and sociology usually regarded society as a system, a specific social organism (American, English, Italian, etc.), or a particular stage in the history of mankind (generic, capitalist, etc.).
emergence of a society different philosophers and scientists have historically been interpreted in different ways.Today, it is recognized that society is determined at the level of social communities, and at the level of individuals.This is what makes it possible to speak about the concept of "society as a system", with its sub-systems and components, structural elements.
main element of any society - a person (human social development).Subsystems of his life - a social, economic, political, social and spiritual spheres, which are closely intertwined with each other and are in communication.Society as a system can exist just because of this interaction.
addition to major subsystems in society are allocated and smaller units, such as various communities.These include classes, ethnic communities, families, social groups, different groups and so on, whose interaction is called public relations.
socially significant groups with stable relations between them develop in the social structure.Their members have common features.It may be kinship, common origin, ethnicity common ideological (religious) attitudes, social status, and others.Social group dictates man behaviors instills values, raises the level of the relevant claims.
system of society is supported by social institutions - sustainable ways to meet the social needs of the people.Chief among them - the State which is the guarantor of the rule of law for the person, security, order and defense.In turn, the individual for the state - one of the participants in social production and the taxpayer.
In the historical development of society there is a change in its structure, the principles on which it is based.Some types of groups lose their value, while others appear.As a result, social integrity is maintained constant.
Modern conceptions of society based on a systematic approach.People are linked by a common activity that is aimed at achieving common objectives.The most important characteristic of a society - its integrity, despite the difficult current hierarchy established relations.
society - a system that successfully replicates itself over time and generational change.The mechanism is based on the reproduction of existing sustainable relationships that are almost self-sufficient in relation to its individual elements and structural units.
Society's openness, which means its ability to exchange with the natural environment, energy, matter and information.In this society, of course, it has a much higher degree of organization compared with its environment.It is aimed at constant satisfying their own needs, which indicates the efficiency of its functioning.
society as a system has the unity, integrity and stability, which ensure adequate functioning in different areas, all systems and subsystems.
