Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide fundamental material about life and society (definition, evolution, etc), starting with a brief presentation of cell biology, DNA/RNA, protein synthesis, and a list of the principal discoveries about DNA and RNA. The meaning of “society” is discussed, followed by the life evolution on earth, and the evolution of human society (physical, vital, and mental stages). The common fundamental elements (pillars) of life and society which are studied in this book, namely: energy, information, feedback, adaptation, and self-organization are briefly introduced. As a supplement, this chapter includes a short outline of some purely societal fundamental elements which are encountered in humanity studies. These elements are: (i) pillars of democracy, (ii) pillars of fulfilled living, and (iii) pillars of sustainable development.
