WTF is with the third poll option?
And, since individuals ARE society, yes.
Society acts... popular uprisings and revolutions... voting, etc.
No.I am a group of people?
No.
Individuals are the - pun intended - individual members of a group or groups.
Thus, they are society.
IMO, any actions that a group makes are simply a group of individuals acting in concert.
Those aren't individuals acting?
I understand your philosophical point but it honestly I'm not interested atm.
Precisely my point.Then it's not the group acting, it's the individuals.
Precisely my point.
Individuals and society are the same thing.
If individuals act, society is acting.
If "society acts", it's individuals who are doing the acting.
And, to the wiseass that shall go unnamed, we’re talking about “act” in terms of an action, not “act” in terms of entertainment. Although there is crossover.
You are incorrect.Sadly? Not so much

But you can't say that the group is acting then, just the individuals.
Does a sports team act as group or as individuals?
It is a flow through issue
Do members of the military act as individuals or as a group\
Individuals perform the actions for the group, both have acted. It is just that without the individuals the group would not exist. The individuals can and do exist without the group
When France invades Italy, is it the whole of France, or just the leaders of the country and the soldiers who were part of the invasion?
Society acts... popular uprisings and revolutions... voting, etc.
Why don't you just get down to the krux of the issue, phatty, and claim that society doesn't exist, quote Thatcher, and then proclaim victory?
I just want people to realize that society is just an intellectual construct and that it has no bearing in reality.
