Social and Cultural

Many expert opinions about the social characteristics of society. Sociologists such as Abu Ahmadi claimed that the main features of a crowd or a bunch of people can be told as if a set of many human societies have settled on one specific area in the long term, so that the interaction between many of these people came the rules written or not, whose function is to regulate the working procedures and governance for the benefit and common purpose.

Briefly characteristics according to Abu Ahmadi community are:

- There are a bunch more people,
- Settled in a particular area for a long time and,
- There are rules that regulate the function of human groups.

Unlike the Abu Ahmadi, other sociologists such as Abdul Syani the results of his research, published in 2003, the main features of the human set is said as a society, if there is interaction, there is the same behavior pattern that is steady and continuous in the community, as well as the sense of group identity.

Abu Ahmadi place more emphasis on the interaction between each individual as the central feature of society. So as a result of such interaction would appear that the typical pattern of behavior in the community and a sense of identity of the group owned by each member of the community.

For example, when speaking Sundanese people who live on the coast. So in the coastal areas there are a bunch of people who interact with each other. As a result of the interaction, then appeared the same pattern of behavior, such as fishermen, or how each community's attitude towards the existence of the sea coast.

Each individual interaction with each other and have similar patterns of behavior, will have a sense of identity as a community bond Sundanese coast. Then a man came to the area, then an interaction, then the earlier entrants can not be said as a member of the Sundanese people of coastal, if you do not have the typical behavior patterns and have a sense of identity towards the Sunda coastal communities.

Reality of the characteristics of a society that had an interaction, have mutual interests and fruitful creative community they are to sustain and maintain the continuity of life, interesting to note. On this side of the then emerging science of sociology whose job it is to learn how people's behavior, patterns of interaction between human beings.

When at the beginning of the 20th century there were large waves of immigrants coming to North America, has given rise to a variety of symptoms such as rapid population growth, crime increased, and symptoms of other communities. This attracted the attention and arouse the American sociologist to examine symptoms that occur in the community.

Scientists think it's hard to find a new approach that can tackle a wide range of social phenomena that grow along the waves of immigrants that massively. That's why modern sociology grew rapidly especially in the United States, not in Europe where the birth of sociologists such as Aristotle, the father of August Comte Sociology Sociology is the originator of the term for the first time in 1842.
