Traditional structure of the society

Everything that distinguishes a man from an animal is a result of the influence of the society he or she participates in. The society has different components: a family, age groups, professional associations, clans, political groupings and religious communities… It is not infrequent that these components become tightly interlaced: clan structures may be closely connected with professional specialization, political and age groups or religious communities may match very well.
