Simplified Meaning:
People join groups or communities to protect what they own. Imagine you have a small farm with crops you've grown. Alone, it’s hard to keep thieves away or deal with bad weather. But, if you join a village, everyone can work together to guard each other's belongings and help fix things when there's trouble. This means you don’t have to worry as much about losing your farm or suffering from problems alone because the community supports you. In societies, we create rules and services, like police and fire departments, to ensure our homes, land, and possessions are safe. By being part of a society, people can enjoy better security and stability for their property.
