- The whole society of people. This includes absolutely the entire set of individuals living on Earth.
- A specific historical community. This includes not only people, but also the relations between them (political, economic, spiritual and social). Example: American society.
- Estates, nations, ethnic groups, elites, etc. This should include any associations of people of a smaller order.
- Organization. First of all, business. But it also includes scientific organizations, financial institutions, institutions and so on.
- Sites, brigades, etc. In fact, the primary groups of people working in some industry or participating in informal organizations.
