On a global scale human society includes many other societies in the States. States represent social groups. The unit of social group is the people.

The pace and quality of changes occurring in society can be different. Sometimes the rules there are a few hundred years, and then, changes occur very quickly. Their extent and quality may vary. Society is constantly in development. It is an ordered unity, in which all the elements are in a particular relationship. This property is sometimes called nadditionally system. Another feature of the society as a dynamical system - self-governing.
