A. Background Information for Learners
What comes into your mind when you hear the word “society”? Technically,
society is usually described as an organized group of individuals whose
BA
members work together or regularly meet and have a shared territory,

interest, and way of living. Likewise, it signifies companionship or association
with others. According to several philosophers, society is the outcome of the
purposeful activities of the people who came together for the achievement
of a shared goal. This information has been used in building a system of
O
knowledge called social science.
