Society?

What is society? I feel that is an essential question especially when one is asked to conform with it.

I've tried this one with several people and have come to one conclusion. Society for Ms 'A' consists of everyone around her. For Mr 'B', it consists of everyone around him. Here comes the complication... According to Ms 'A', society does not include her and ditto for Mr 'B'. So, expand this logic to the whole of mankind and we're still stuck at nothing!

Society consists of every single human element in existence. That includes the 'anti-social' elements as well. So, what exactly are we expected to be conforming to?

Also, it isn't possible to have a representative unit of this society. We represent ourselves. Anyone doing it on our behalf is bound to be flawed. The only possible method of representation is handing this responsibility to someone who understands the dynamics of individuality.
