A society is a large social grouping that shares the same geographical territory and is subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. At the macrolevel, the social structure of a society has several essential elements: social institutions, groups, statues, roles, norms. Social marginality is the state of being part insider and part outsider in the social structure.
