société
/société/Roman
English meaning: Society
Definition
An organized community sharing laws and culture. French society faces complex challenges of integrating immigrant communities (especially from former African colonies), rising populism, social inequality, and debates about French identity. France's universalist model (citizens are French first, not defined by ethnicity or religion) creates tensions with multicultural demands.
Example
“La société française est confrontée aux défis de l'intégration et de l'identité nationale.”
In English: “French society faces challenges of integration and national identity.”
Literary Heritage
“On ne naît pas femme, on le devient.”
“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
