Why does society exist?

Language exist even in the animal kingdom. That don't need to be a part of a society to communicate. Written language and large vocabs is something developed by humans and help our growth.

Society exist because as everyone else has stated, we are social animals. Unlike other animals, our newborns are slow at development and can not survive on its own for quite some time and therefore need parental guidance. This necessity is one of the reasons human families exist. The dependence of ones immediate family and extended family make up one foundation for a society. Extend that need of survival to those around you (friends and neighbors) and those who are like you and share you interest and you have a society. We live close to each other out of protect, social interaction, and commerce needs (trading goods and ideas).

Companionship. So, get it together and be friendly. 😄

Nah, I prefer forced breeding.

Society exists for the benefit of the individual.
It is also a scapegoat to hide our weaknesses as a human being.
Some sort of cover-up to hide our limitations.
It was solely established so that some of us can take advantage of other people, and make our own set of rules/dogma that pertain to the belief of the majority.
The minority, we leave to fend for themselves. They are outcasts.

What is there aim ?

People are social creatures. They like to bond. Nations exist because people bonded over geographical location; they were all in the same area, might as well all be in the same group.

As for aim... heh. Good question. Improving itself seems to be a popular one.

Because you touch yourself at night crackers

That is so not why society exists. crackers

To torment us and make our existences less substantial

symbolic/gestural communication is seen in the animal kingdom

language is uniquely human

Actually, there is no definitive proof of that statment. Dolphins for example are thought to have quite the elaborated system of communication which is language in a sense

lol

language is not "complex" communication. Also, there are no "languages in a sense", unless you want to just redefine things for the ability to say such.

at the very least, there is no evidence that shows dolphins have a grammatically generative system of phonological symbols. Such evidence may be produced in the future, but it does not exist now and there are very serious caveats to consider that make the entire process of trying to find animal analogs to human language seem futile.

Here are the wikis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language#Animal_communication

the most important statement being: "While proponents of animal communication systems have debated levels of semantics, these systems have not been found to have anything approaching human language syntax."

I'd look up more "academic" stuff, however, few journals would feel it necessary to publish a paper entitled "Other animals don't have human language".

That is so not why society exists.

I had to read the Bible pretty carefully but, Yeah it is. crackers

to research and find better ways to rape and maim each other.

Companionship

society exist to protect the weakest members of our species even though it kinda goes against our nature because we also attack those same weak members.

thats how all these geeks and anti social misfits have managed to stay alive with their personality and behavior by hiding behind laws, morality and those in power.

I think society exists so people can make internet forums like this.

i'll tell you what if it wasnt for society i would have killed all the ppl that have back stabbed me to get ahead in business and in personal life.

Society isn't stopping you from doing that, but it will probably punish you after the fact.

yeah it hasnt stop me from doing it, but i have to be very careful with evidence and make sure i havent had a dispute with the person in front of other ppl who can lead them to me. it still doesnt get the point to other ppl not to screw with you, which doesnt solve future problems.

any of you guys ever had that kid at school or an a$$hole at a bar who talks smack to you because a teacher or police officer is near by and he knows physically they are no challenge to you.

Yup, I ended up trying to choke him to death with enough force that it left bruising on his trachea.
