Society is the system of human relations which develops in the course of production, maintenance and reproduction of their life. Society represents a uniform complete organism, a spontaneous system.
Society is not only the people living in it now but also all last and all future generations, all history and prospect of mankind. Life of society not a chaotic heap of accidents, but the open organized system submitting to certain laws of development. Each new generation continues and develops that, what is made predecessors.
All causes of social dynamics are divided into objective and subjective. It is possible to carry to the first natural and geographical (climate, a landscape, natural resources), social and economic (the level of development of science, economy), demographic (quantity and quality of the population).
Refer consciousness of people, social experience, cultural wealth, mentality, traditions, customs, the purposes, interests to the subjective reasons. The objective reasons do not depend on consciousness and will of individuals, subjective are result of conscious activity of subjects. The new generation not just inertly repeats acts of ancestors, and realizes also own requirements, continuously making changes to the nature of society. Development of society represents result of interaction of these two factors - objective factors and conscious activity of people. Components of society - people, social communications, social interactions and the relations, social groups, communities, social institutes, social norms. Society is formed only by that collective which can act as a unit which has the general need and seeks to satisfy them in organized joint activity. In human society all functions, necessary for existence, are carried out - from production of goods before education of younger generation and spiritual creativity. In a broad sense the driving force of society is search of the best life forms. Dynamics to development is given by contradictions, fight of contradictory forces, emergence of global problems.
