The Merriam-Webster dictionary give the definition of a society as:
- An enduring and cooperating social group whose members have developed organized patterns of relationships through interaction with one another.
- A community, nation, or broad grouping of people having common traditions, institutions, and collective activities and interests.[1]
The general use of society in common culture tends towards the second. Society is often differentiated along geographical/wordview, with terms such as Western society being popular.
