Because society is one of the most important in the formation of man and the human. This was well understood by the ancients. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defines man as a social being (“man is a social being to a greater extent than ants and bees…”), and also a political one, which again indicates the existence of a social nature in him.
And it is clear that this, so to speak, “social environment” is one of the most important conditions in the formation of human consciousness and worldview, i.e., again, everything that is human in each of us.
And how else can we consider the appearance of the results of human creative activity — in literature, art, philosophy and sciences, culture. After all, all this requires communication and attitude with your own kind… And for all this, there is continuity, because <all> this must be developed and improved by more than one generation of people. And so this role is fulfilled by the same “social environment” or the same society.
The minimum social unit is the family. A society can consist of one family. Why is a person impossible without a family? Without a family, he cannot be born, and the one who is born cannot survive on his own, without food or training. Teaching a person a language forms their consciousness, personality, and the possibility of introspection. A person forced to reinvent the language will inevitably lag behind in development. The very possibility of communication already develops a person. The ability to understand others (and not just react to the actions of others), to imagine yourself in the place of another is considered an essential component of consciousness.
Society is made up of people, and people are part of society. “Society cannot exist without a person, but nowhere is it said that it is impossible to do the opposite,” everyone can say. But let's look at the archives: at all times and among all peoples, one of the most severe punishments was isolation from society, imprisonment, exile; after all, since ancient times everyone knows that it is difficult for a person to live alone.
Many people say,” I can't be in society. I prefer the technique/book. I'm tired of people who don't understand me.” Saying this, a person does not always realize the full depth of the words. Of course, we need personal space, time, and sometimes it is easier with a technique/book than with people. But every person needs a society/company/close/circle of people in order to express themselves, so as not to lose their Self, their PERSONALITY. A person may be able to live without society, but his personality will die. His personality will die.
