INTRODUCTION
Society can be termed as a group of individuals working together to achieve objectives that cannot be achieved alone. Human societies are characterised by patterns of relationships between individuals sharing distinctive culture.

IMPORTANCE OF SOCIETY
Society plays a significant role in the life of an individual. It influences the behaviour of an individual. A harmonic society fosters growth and development. It brings togetherness among individuals . A society can also negatively impact a person. For instance, a society full of conflicts and differences will affect the growth and downgrade the personality of an individual.

It improves the standarad of living of people. A society can also negatively impact education.
