Chapter 6: Societies to Social Networks

"The largest and most complex group that sociologists study is society, which consists of people who share a culture and a territory. Society, which surrounds us, sets the stage for our life experiences. The sociological principle is that the type of society we live in is the fundamental reason for why we become who we are. Not only does our society lay the broad framework for our behavior, but it also influences the ways we think and feel. Its effects are so significant that if you had grown up in a different society, you would be a different type of person."
