From the Macquarie Dictionary

Sociology the sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings, which is transmitted from one generation to another or a particular state or stage of civilisation, as in the case of a certain nation or period: Greek culture.

  1. Economic

Relating to the production, distribution, and use of income and wealth or relating to the means of living.

  1. Social

A body of individuals living as members of a community: a society of human beings or human beings collectively regarded as a body divided into classes according to worldly status: the lower classes of society or a body of persons associated by their calling, interests, etc

  1. Gender

A distinction is sometimes made between gender and sex, such that gender refers to socially conditioned characteristics or typical behaviour, and sex to the physical characteristics of men and women. This distinction does not seem to have become widely accepted, however. Some people may prefer gender to sex because of the frequent use of sex in the sense of `sexual intercourse'.

  1. Disability

Lack of competent power, strength, or physical or mental ability; incapacity or a particular physical or mental weakness or incapacity or in Law lack of legal capacity.
