Mass society refers to a social structure characterized by the dominance of large, impersonal institutions and the decline of traditional community bonds. In a mass society, individuals often feel disconnected from one another, as they are part of a vast population rather than close-knit groups. This phenomenon can be seen in urban environments where people may live in proximity but lack meaningful interactions. The rise of mass society is often linked to industrialization and urbanization, which transformed economies and lifestyles. As people migrated to cities for work, they became part of a larger, more anonymous social fabric. This shift has implications for culture, politics, and social behavior, influencing movements like mass media and consumerism.
