Society

A society is a group of people involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. 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 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.

Japan (ⁱ/dʒəˈpæn/; Japanese: 日本 Nippon [nip̚põ̞ɴ] or Nihon [nihõ̞ɴ]; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, "State of Japan") is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The kanji that make up Japan's name mean "sun origin", and Japan is often called the "Land of the Rising Sun".

Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which make up about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan's population of 126 million is the world's tenth largest. Approximately 9.1 million people live in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, which is the sixth largest city proper in the OECD. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the world's largest metropolitan area with over 35 million residents and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy.

Discover Japan through the history of New York's Japan Society (feat. Mansai Nomura)
http://www.japansociety.org/ Japan Society is an American nonprofit, established in 1907 in New York. In order to deepen mutual understanding between the U.S. and Japan, the Society offers a wide range of programming on business, public policy, arts, culture, language and education. Japan Society’s landmark building hosts modern and traditional performing arts programs, film screenings, and lectures on topics such as food and architecture. Two major gallery exhibitions are held each year, covering both traditional and contemporary Japanese art. The Society also offers a wide range of programs, including Japanese language and calligraphy classes, providing opportunities for Americans to learn about Japanese culture. The Society invites policy and business leaders from Japan and the U.S. to discuss finance, international business, and foreign policy. Other important activities include student and multidisciplinary leadership exchange programs. In 1907, business leaders and philanthropists from Japan and the U.S. gathered for a luncheon to establish Japan Society and announce their mission: "The promotion of friendly relations between the Unites States and Japan and the diffusion among the American people of a more accurate knowledge of the people of Japan, their aims, ideals, arts, sciences, industries and economic conditions”. More than a century has passed, and this legacy continues to inspire Japan Society.
