What is Society?

This week, we learned about what makes up a society. As a class, we decided that all societies have certain categories of things that makes them distinct. Then, working in pairs, we identified lists of things in each category that goes together to make up a society.

The mindmap below shows the result. Start a discussion by asking your child if they see any ways that the items in different colors are connected.

After we examined how some things in the different colors are connected to each other, the class came up with this definition for society:

Society is a system of living people and nature, in the same place, working together to keep each other safe, and healthy.
