A society is a group of people involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterised by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups

To make people aware of the loss of the attention span in this age of an abundance of information and very little knowledge.
I will speak in extenso on the shrinking attention span in the social media generation which is all encompassing. Some subjects that I plan to touch upon are the ‘hyperbolic seige,’ the ‘adjectivisation of conversation’ and the ‘wikipedisation of knowledge.’
Open ears and open minds!
