A social environment emerges from the interaction between biophysical ecology and human interventions. It is a two-way process. Ecology shapes the forms of human life and culture. Also, the social organisation of capitalism shapes nature across the world. The interaction between environment and societ is shaped by "social organisation". The social environment of an individual, also called social context, sociocultural context, or milieu, refers to the culture that she/he/ze was educated or lives in, and the people and institutions with whom the person interacts.[1]
The interaction may be in person or through communication media, even anonymous or one-way, and may not imply equality of social status. Therefore the social environment is a broader concept than that of social class or social circle. Nevertheless, persons with the same social environment often develop a sense of solidarity; they often tend to trust and help one another, and to congregate in social groups. They will often think in similar styles and patterns even when their conclusions differ.
