Social behavior can be defined as all behavior that influences, or is influenced by, other members of the same species. The term thus covers all sexual and reproductive activities and all behavior that tends to bring individuals together as well as all forms of aggressive behavior (Grant, 1963).

A societal culture refers to the commonly held beliefs or values that exist and are agreed upon in a given population. In a uniform culture, these beliefs are generally accepted by the majority of the people, while in a more diverse culture, many separate value structures coexist.

A social situation is an emergent configura- tion of people, culture traits, specific meanings, relationships, time and place, and dynamic processes such as adjustment, interaction, social control, social changes, and readjustment.

Poverty, unemployment, unequal opportunity, racism, and malnutrition are examples of social issues/problems. So are substandard housing, employment discrimination, and child abuse and neglect.

Societal perspective means a point of view that includes a broad spectrum of public benefits, including, but not limited to, enhanced system reliability; savings that result from delaying, deferring, or minimizing capital costs; and environmental benefits such as increased water in streams, improvements in aquifer recharge and other environmental factors.
