ABSTRACT
(p. 61) Human beings were created with an instinct for survival, an instinct which has an inherent part of it in the individual’s desire to be with other individuals; the gathering of people is therefore deemed natural. However, the simple gathering of individuals does not make a community out of them, but rather a group. On the other hand, should they develop relationships geared towards the acquisition of mutual interests and the warding off of evil temptations, these relationships may create a community out of the group. However, these relationships alone do not create a society out of this group of individuals unless their attitudes towards these relationships become uniform through the uniformity of their thoughts, contentment and displeasure. Likewise, it is necessary that their approach towards such relationships be uniform; this uniformity can be accomplished through the uniformity of the system dealing with these relationships. It is therefore inevitable to take into consideration the thoughts, feelings and systems in a given society when studying that society, as these aspects are what make it a particular society of a particular colour.
