Societies are made up of people and they have boundaries. It should also be noted that a society includes within itself various sub-systems and is not itself subsumed under any wider category. In other words a society is a self-contained unit and its boundaries demarcate certain limits of interaction in the legal political economic and other spheres. This of course does not mean that no interaction takes place across the boundaries of different societies. However the interaction existing among the members of a society has a distinct character. Thus tribe may be defined as a collection of individuals generally living in isolation and sharing a common culture. The term ''culture'' as used here denotes those traditional beliefs arts life styles and practices which an individual acquires as a member of a particular society.
