I just think 'society' is a cliche at this point. I remember society being go to church, work hard in school, marry someone from the opposite sex, buy a house with a white picket fence, spit out some kids. Dad brings home the bacon and mom cooks it up in a pan.
Society got blown up in the 60s and 70s. 2019: Same sex marriage is everywhere. People can get by without cars. Pot is mostly legal. Suburbia, once a pretty black and white place, is now a Crayola 64 pack. Every decent sized city has ethic pockets where you could hang out and not even know you were in the US.
Update of my kid Mike for those who remember his darker days when I first joined here: About a year ago he got in the ground floor of this place:

He's now top management with a 401K, quarterly earnings, and $80K a year. I hate him....
