A society, or a human society, is a group of people related to each other through persistent relations, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or virtual territory, subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification and/or dominance patterns in subgroups.
Insofar as it is collaborative, a society can enable its members to benefit in ways that would not otherwise be possible on an individual basis; both individual and social (common) benefits can thus be distinguished, or in many cases found to overlap.
A society can also consist of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger society. This is sometimes referred to as a subculture, a term used extensively within criminology.
Fish that don't drown
Life in a bubble jungle
I wouldn't frown
Not short another chuckle
Snake in the ground
But I was in there for you
Now leaving town
Life in a bubble jungle
Seeing you believing us adhering
We're the power struck
Believing, then kneeling, appeasing
The power struggle
We're left with no arms
Right in the power struggle
We're left with no arms
Right in the power struggle
Wearing a crown
Life in a bubble jungle
Chasing a clown
Not short another chuckle
Snake in the ground
But I was waiting for you
Now we have found
Life in a bubble jungle
Seeing you believing, us adhering
We're the power struck
Believing, then kneeling, appeasing
The power struggle
We're left with no arms
Right in the power struggle
We're left with no arms
Right in the power struggle
Left with no arms
In the power struggle
Left with no arms
In the power struggle
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
May I remind you
Your life is in a bubble jungle
Seeing you believing, us adhering
We're the power struck
Believing, then kneeling, appeasing
The power struggle
We're left with no arms
Right in the power struggle
We're left with no arms
Right in the power struggle
Left with no arms
In the power struggle
Left with no arms
