According to wikipedia. com, the social world primarily deals with society and sociology, or the study of society and human behaviors. They say society is A society is "a group of humans or other organisms of a single species that is delineated by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, or eusociality." With that being said, they also mention that a society is "characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture or institutions." By partaking in a society or the social world, a person is able to achieve and accomplish things he or she could not on his or her own.
In Pierce's chapter, the social world provides "boundaries, resources, and challenges daily." The social world can be interpreted differently by various types of people. The culture one lives in and the things happening around them will determine their social world. Traveling and emerging ourselves in different cultures allows us to experience different social worlds. Since the social world may involve different customs or traditions, many different emotions can arise from a person when these are revealed to them. The differences may irritate a person or they could create joy and happiness. The social world has a large effect on our emotions, our actions, and our choices.
We are so comfortable with our social culture because it is what we grew up with. Most of us are used to eating lunch at school. If we were submersed in the Spanish social culture, we may feel out of place when we would take a break from classes and would come home to eat lunch. It may be uncomfortable to have to go to class afterwards. Our environment with which we grow up in helps determine the norms for our lives.
