Society

समाज

What turns a population into a society?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

Society is the continuity of relationship among families who recognise a shared human purpose and participate in mutual fulfilment. A population connected only by market, law or fear remains organised but not necessarily undivided. Trust, justice and complementary roles create the felt assurance that every person belongs within the larger human family.

Reflection

Look at one social connection and ask whether it is maintained by relationship, transaction or fear.
