Things to include on the page Social Organization include different instances in which there are social organizations constructed by humans.
In the study, there was mention of how religion shows a positive correlation with living a satisfied life. The study states that this is due to the fact that the people "regularly attend religious services and build social networks in their congregations." [1]
The authors wrote about a study where there was a community which was used as an example to see how proximity could influence the sense of community. The studied showed that the closer the people were to one another, the greater the feeling of unity as a community. [2]
This study shows how there is a hierarchical structure in social groups which influence the way in which a group is structured as well as if the group will remain together. The study shows how "a structural dimension of embeddedness can then be defined through the hierarchical nesting." [3]
This journal article was a revisit to a study about social organizations and the role played in society. The revisit mentions that there are many social organizations studied in the field of sociology and how it is changing over time. [4]
After seeing many different journals, there was a lot of information on social networking. I would add it to the "See also" section of the Wikipedia page. I would include how religion is an example of how it is that social organizations are seen in the world as was shown in the first journal. I would also include information on how proximity shows social organization in the world and influences a person's sense of community as shown in the second study.I would expand on the already defined statement on the page of social organizations and include details from the third journal which talks about how there is an inherent hierarchy in social organizations and how different members contribute to the organization.I would include a section on how social organizations impact society as a whole as seen in the fourth source. I would include more details based on what the source mentions about how social organizations, much like the information being sent out by people constantly is always causing change and is changing every second.
I am having trouble finding more information which explicitly defines social organizations, but the information I do have available would be a start in the right direction. I am going to look for more resources in terms of psychology which may lead me towards sociology with deeper digging. I am still a but unsure of how to structure the page, but I would imagine it starting with the lead section with an image and a definition of the word, the next section would be examples of where social organizations are found, the elements of social organizations, and social organizations within society.

Elements
editSocial organizations are seen in everyday life. These social organizations are seen in institutional situations as well as on a smaller scale. Wide known social organizations include religious institutions. [5] In order to have a sense of identity with the social organization, being closer to one another aids in building a sense of community. [6] Social organizations are structured to where there is a hierarchical system. [7] There is a hierarchical structure in social groups which influence the way a group is structured as well as if the group will remain together.
Within society
editSocial organizations within society are constantly changing. [8] Social organizations are seen in different forms within society such as created through institutions like schools or governments. Smaller scale social organizations in society include groups forming from common interests and conversations. Social organizations are created constantly and with time change.
