Society is broad term that has many levels of interaction, between individuals, to complex relations between nations (global community), 3 levels of analysis: macro: looks at larger institutional impacts and groups and influences down on individuals. A lot of times focusing on constraints how someone"s race etc. Quantitative: micro: looks at the individual and their impact on the larger institutions qualitative, meso: middle ground between the two above. More of the group level of analysis, someone doing something for a class at mcmaster = meso.
