On Societies as Organisms

In the article "On Societies as Organisms", the author talks about how we as humans think of ourselves to be an individual character and that we are lonely and try to do things independently. As we explore, however, we come to see that we are not just one being but rather a group of people who will make a great difference as a group rather than one individual. We depend on each other and communicate. I agree with the author on this because from his example in the article, he puts that "Herring and other fish in schools are so closely integrated that they seem to be functionally a great multi-fish organism", one single fish in the sea may not seem to do a whole lot, but a whole school of fish in the sea would make a change in whatever they would be trying to do. We as human beings cannot be seen comparing ourselves to species like insects and fish, but after while, we do see the similarities among each other and come to accept the fact that we are not so much different from each other.
