An individual is one that exists as a distinct entity. Individuality
(or self-hood) is the state or quality of living as an individual;
particularly (in the case of humans) as a person unique from other people and
possessing one's own needs or goals, rights and responsibilities. The concept
of an individual features in many fields, including biology, law, and
philosophy. Every individual contributes significantly to the growth of a
civilization. Society is a multifaceted concept that is shaped and influenced
by a wide range of different things, including human behaviors, attitudes, and
ideas.
