SOCIETY
• According to the book, Society refers to

and behaviors through their various
everyday interactions. These
interactions are often governed by
written and unwritten rules that reflect
the shared ideas, views, and values of
the members of society.

evolve and develop various
characteristics. The simplest and earliest
societies are the hunting-and-gathering
societies that adopt a lifestyle dependent
on resources readily available from their
surroundings. These societies are offer
described as "primitive" since they utilize
the simplest technology. Examples of
hunting-and gathering societies include
nomadic tribes such as the San in Africa
and small tribes found in remote locations
throughout the world.

message boards, and online games.
