Study Notes
- Society is a group of people who share a culture and a territory.
- People's behavior is influenced by their society.
- To find out why people do what they do, sociologists look at social location, where people are located in a particular society.
- For human beings the existence of society is essential. It is essential for the survival of human child at birth, and also for social experience – for purposes of ‘nurturance’.
- The human child is so helpless at the time of birth that without the help of other members of society the mere survival is at stake. Then the other important aspect is to ‘nurture’ this human being into a ‘social being’. The cases of isolated children (Anna, Isabelle, and Genie) provide evidence to the fact that without the interaction with members of society the natural potentials are lost and the child may not become a normal ‘social being’.
