Society and Government

Society is a community of people living together, sharing norms, values, and resources that help maintain order and cooperation. Government is the organized system of authority and institutions—like laws, courts, and agencies—that creates rules, enforces them, and manages public affairs. It helps ensure safety, justice, and public services. While society includes all social relationships and cultural aspects, government provides the structure and authority needed to organize collective life smoothly and fairly. Together, they shape how communities function, grow, and adapt to change.
