The concept of “people” is an extensive one, this category can include any ethnic group or even the entire population of the state. As a social community, people integrate through production, this is a popular activity that has a social character.
Labor as a factor of unity
Joint work, uniting a certain number of individuals, helps to develop a similar attitude to life values and traditions for each person. In this case, sociology in this case understands labor not as the production of something or processing, but as a global process.
Before the Renaissance, the concept of "people" was associated exclusively with the idea of a community of people, there was even a descriptive concept of "the flock of Christ", synonymous with the category of "people". Obviously, such an ontological interpretation does not have a sociological basis, with this understanding there is no internal gradation (everyone is equal in the herd, everything is interspersed), functionality. Meanwhile, with the development of philosophical thought and the development of a number of social concepts for understanding the individual and the community, it became obvious that the “people”, even as a tribe, are heterogeneous, there are groups, micro- and macro-, there are collectives that have a role in the formation of a people, nationality, the formation of the historical process.
