A group of people who share the same interests and way of life is called a society.

Sociology
is the science that examines human society. The term sociology is derived from the Latin word
socius, which means “companion, union of people.”
Sociologists are interested in how a society began and how it grew. They also study the
levels within society. For example, the child is part of the family, the family is part of the
neighborhood, and the neighborhood is part of the community. There are many different groups,
and sociologists are interested in the effect that these groups have on people.
A Frenchman named Auguste Comte made sociology a separate science in the 1830s. He
suggested that a new science was necessary to study a society of people. A famous book, Principles
of Sociology, was published by an Englishman, Herbert Spencer, in 1882. This book had an
unprecedented effect on the science of sociology. In this book, Spencer theorized that a society’s
customs evolved, or grew, from very simple to more complicated and advanced. This theory shows
the influence that Charles Darwin (who believed that man had evolved from very simple forms to the
present human) had on Spencer.

 A giant dam was built many years ago to control the Colorado River. This dam was built to
protect the land and houses around the river.
This huge dam is in the Black Canyon. It is possible to drive a car from one side of the river to
the other on a road which is on top the dam. This dam is so big that there is an elevator inside. The
elevator goes down forty four stories from the road to the bottom. There is enough concrete in this
dam to built a highway from New York to San Fransisco. Thousands of people worked on this dam
for five years.
This huge dam was called Boulder Dam when it was finished in 1936. Later it was renamed
Hoover Dam in honor of a president of the United States. Hoover Dam, one of the highest dams in
the world, is located between the states of Arizona and Nevada.
