Landscape
A landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms and how they integrate with natural or man-made features.
Society
A society is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent of members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.
Society
Heav'n forming each on other to depend,
A master, or a servant, or a friend,
Bids each on other for assistance call,
Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.
Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man (1733–34), Epistle II, line 249.
Society
To make society
The sweeter welcome, we will keep ourself
Till supper-time alone.
William Shakespeare, Macbeth (1605), Act III, scene 1, line 42. Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 724–25.
Society
Ah, you flavour everything; you are the vanille of society.
Sydney Smith, Lady Holland's Memoir, Volume I, p. 262. Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 724–25.
