</div>A '''[[society]]''' is a group of [[people]] who form a semi-closed [[system]]. At its simplest, the term ''society'' refers to a large group of people sharing their own [[culture]] and [[institutions]].  A society, then, is a network of relationships between people. The English word ''society'' is derived from the French '''''société''''', which, in turn, had its origin in the [[Latin]] '''''societas''''', a "friendly association with others," from '''''socius''''' meaning "companion, associate, comrade or business partner." Thus, the meaning of society is closely related to what is considered to be [[social]]. Implicit in the meaning of society is that its members may share some mutual concern or interest, a common objective or common characteristics. The [[social sciences]] generally use the term ''society'' to mean a group of people who form a semi-closed [[social system]], in which most interactions are with other individuals belonging to the group. More [[abstraction|abstractly]], a ''society'' is defined as a network of [[relation]]ships between social [[entity|entities]]. A ''society'' is also sometimes defined as an interdependent [[community]], but the sociologist [[Tönnies]] sought to draw a contrast between society and community. An important feature of society is ''[[social structure]]'', aspects of which include [[role]]s and [[Social rank|social ranking]].
