A society is a body of humans generally seen as a community or group of humans - or other organisms of a single species - that is outlined by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, or eusociality. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture or institutions. Like other groups, a society allows its individual members to achieve individual needs or wishes that they could not fulfill separately by themselves, without the existence of the social group. Society, however, may be unique in that it is ontologically independent of, and utterly irreducible to, the qualities of its constituent individuals. As a reality sui generis, or "of its own kind", it is emergently composed of social facts that often hinder rather than help the pursuits of the subjects that form its physical and psychological underpinnings.

More broadly, a society is an economic, social or industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied multitude of individuals. Members of a society may be from different ethnic groups. A society may be a particular ethnic group, such as the Saxons; a nation state, such as Bhutan; a broader cultural group, such as a Western society; or even a social organism such as an ant colony.

The word society may also refer to an organized voluntary association of people for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes. Sociology is the study of society and social behavior.

A. it isnt important to society if gays marry... although they would have you believe so. this county is a christian country founded on christsian principles and according to most christian beliefs as well as what is plainly written in the Bible, homosexuality is a sin. i more than anyone believe that gov't and religion shouldnt mix but allowing gays the same rights as non gays kinda sets the tone that it is ok to be gay...and well, its not. for a select vocal minority to insist that i go against what i believe God wants just to politically legitimize their alternative lifestyle is unamerican. if you are gay, then be gay...dont get me to agree with it or expect me to pay for your lifestyle thru my taxes or the rise in cost for my insurance or… [cont.]

What exactly does a volunteer at a humane society do?
Q. I need volunteer hours for a full ride scholarship, so I'm looking at the local humane society. I also have to fill out a form regarding the "types of services performed" and I also want to personally know what your job is when volunteering at one. So what do you do? Please answer only if you have volunteered before or you have experience with a humane society. This is important! Thank you! Actually, the one I would be at doesn't euthanize. They simply stop taking animals when they get full up.

A. There are some places that do NOT euthanize- these Shelters do 1-Attempt to retrain an animal to be put back into a home 2-You will be Cleaning cages, runs, bowls, bedding etc.. this allows the more experienced workers to change dressings/bandages, give medications, walk the animals, work with the animals to rehabilitate them etc 3-You might feed the animals You will do anything necessary if you Truly want to volunteer, or are u just looking for credits on a resume`? Or possibly someone to say Ahh isn't she nice? It is not the most pleasant place to be day to day. But, I suggest you @ least give it a try. They can always use the help.
