=Studying Human Society=

=Q1 What do you understand from the fact that society is made up of social levels of reality?= Ans Society is a social phenomenon that requires the understanding of social reality at various levels. The top visible level need not be representative of reality as a whole. The true picture of social phenomenon is possible only if we take care to consider all aspects of that phenomenon. Karl Marx rightly points out if the apparent were real then there would be no need for a science society, therefore, should be renewed from all levels of reality.

=Q2 What has been the common themes underlying the meanings of Society?= Ans Unity among people and discouragement of a feeling of hatred between people is the only way to hold a society together. One must give importance to values such as freedom, equality, mutual respect etc. for the development of society. Other values such as love, affection, friendship, ethical conduct are important for the growth and development of society.

=Q3 Describe more than one side of difficult situation you may have faced.= Ans. The attacks on the twin towers in America was an extremely difficult situation faced by America. Violence is considered as an important tool for social change according to many theorists. It was condemned as a terrorist act sabotaging social solidarity and peace. Others could not understand the irrational thought behind the bombing of these twin towers. If this was act of condemnation so was the attack on Iraq by America an act of condemnation since they did not have arms of mass destruction.
