A
society is a group of people who form a semi-closed system. At its simplest, the term
society refers to a large group of people sharing their own culture and institutions. A society, then, is a network of relationships between people. The English word
society is derived from the French
société, which, in turn, had its origin in the Latin
societas, a "friendly association with others," from
socius meaning "companion, associate, comrade or business partner." Thus, the meaning of society is closely related to what is considered to be social. Implicit in the meaning of society is that its members may share some mutual concern or interest, a common objective or common characteristics. The social sciences generally use the term
society to mean a group of people who form a semi-closed social system, in which most interactions are with other individuals belonging to the group. More abstractly, a
society is defined as a network of relationships between social entities. A
society is also sometimes defined as an interdependent community, but the sociologist Tönnies sought to draw a contrast between society and community. An important feature of society is
social structure, aspects of which include roles and social ranking.

The
Iranian people are a collection of ethnic groups primarily defined by their usage of Iranian languages. The Iranian people live chiefly in the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and parts of South Asia, though speakers of Iranian languages were once found throughout Eurasia, from the Balkans to western China. As Iranian people are not confined to the borders of the current state of Iran, the term
Iranic people is sometimes used as an alternative in order to avoid confusion with the citizens of modern Iran. The series of ethnic groups which comprise the Iranian people are traced to a branch of the ancient Indo-European Aryans known as the
Iranians or
Proto-Iranians. Some scant information about the way of life of these early Aryans has been elucidated through archaeological finds in
Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East. The Iranian people have played an important role throughout history: the Achaemenid Persians established the world's first multi-national state, and the Scythian-Sarmatian nomads dominated the vast expanses of Russia and western Siberia for centuries and gave birth to the infamous Amazons. In addition, the various religions of the Iranian people, including Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, were important early philosophical influences on Judeo-Christianity. Early Iranian tribes were the precursors to many diverse modern people, including the Persians, the Kurds, the Pashtuns, and many other, smaller groups. The southern Iranian people survived Alexander the Great's conquests, Muslim Arab attempts at cultural dominance, and devastating assaults by the Mongols, whereas the Iranians of the north were largely assimilated by the Slavs and other European people.
