Society and World

**read from bottom up**
morgan: Dont you reside in the society that is vibrant in the world? So other than the society that builds up the world what do you think the world encompasses?
ABC: world sounds much bigger than society..
morgan: what different does it makes?
ABC: the world isn't really that bad.. it's the society..
morgan: trials and tribulations just make you feel that the world is a lousier place to live in...thats why you have to hang in there...
ABC: ha.. thks.. i'm trying.. not to think too far..
xy: Trials and tribulations will mould and make you stronger. Hang in there.

The above post does not try to demean anyone or try in any other way to prove that i am absolutely right. It is just the way i feel about the things and all should not be taken seriously and be broaded over. I am as ignorant as anyone just that i prefer to let known my ignorance and share my views. Below is how i feel,

society:
NOUN: 1a. The totality of social relationships among humans. b. A group of humans broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests, participation in characteristic relationships, shared institutions, and a common culture. c. The institutions and culture of a distinct self-perpetuating group.

World: **There are many meanings but i just extracted this to present my point**
5a. Humankind considered as social beings; human society

so is there a difference? what does the world we lived in encompasses? Aren't the things all around us the only things in our own world? or should i say in the society? It really does not matter because what we live in a society. Human society to be precise. As diverse as the cultures,race, language, religion still goes with a doubt, it is still very much a Human society.

To say that the world is more than just the human society would mean to bring in other forms of life that impact the world. Animals have a lesser role to play in the society ever since the stone age man discovered fire and they all started to end up in cookbooks. Greens, esp. trees are constantly being cut and destroyed to make way for who? Human beings...Aliens? Nasa is still venturing out to look for E.T. Gods and Ghosts are still very much beliefs and religionised ( i will not touch on it as it will take about another day and is a different topic altogether).

World, you may say is affected constantly by natural disaster which human beings are in no control over. And so the world would mean natural disasters as well. But hey! doesnt natural disasters affects human beings directly? It is still human society bearing the full brunt of the impact.

You and me, we all lived in this world. We are very much in this altogether and how big this world goes is as far as how big the socity is. Is the world bigger than the society that we resides in? I beg to differ....
