This article is written on one hand as the guidebook to our website to help navigate through pages, tables and diagrams. On the other hand, it is an explanation of the idea behind it.

Any founders of something always ask themselves a rhetorical question «What is the purpose of this?", "How to begin?», and if they dig more philosophically - ««What came first – the chicken or the egg?».

It was necessary to begin with something, and all has begun with allocation of three global terms: Social, Material, Intellectual. Why a Trinity? The explanation is below.

Let's take a look at people from a distance and analyze (consider) people in general first, and then in detail. Basically, all readers should agree that mankind consists of a set of separate individuals. This plurality of components has to comply with some sort of a system. After a detailed analysis of this system, it is possible to uncover laws in the interaction, as well as regulating mechanisms of mutual relations.

Meanwhile, the aforesaid can be applied to the description of the phenomenon of animals, either fish, birds, or insects in an absolutely adequate and similar manner. For convenience, the term "social" has been chosen. However, applying the word "social" to objects of fauna or insects, as this can cause a negative reaction from some readers. We need to keep in mind that we are on observing people “from a distance”,  and we have not got acquainted with anyone yet in detail, but only have found out that they move not chaotically, but what appears to be an organized manner. This means that these laws can be defined and studied.

A social science called sociology exists for the purpose of studying, analyzing, and gaining insights from human interactions and the laws that govern them. Probably, for convenience or the consolation of human vanity, the term sociology is used to study humans, rather than zoology.

A more detailed study of the so-called "social" laws in behavior requires certain terms to be used to more precisely describe what is being talked about. They are as follows:

• Society – the all-encompassing set of human individuals;
• Politics - set of regulating mechanisms for the coexistence of human individuals;
• Religion//Believes – a set of unevident (unproven), sometimes hidden, mechanisms of regulating mutual relations;
• Sports (competition) - the integral attribute-characteristic of one type of interaction - mutual competitive relations of human individuals;
• War - extreme reaction and evidence of inability of political regulators to provide viability and coexistence of individuals.

Let's try to prove, why such concepts have been chosen. The first term - the Society, most likely, should not cause questions. However, it is necessary to note one important point - it is impossible to apply any of our social attributes and terminology to a human individual isolated from society. 

The second term Politics - widespread concept meaning conventional regulative mechanisms-principles of coexistence between human individuals (the minimum amount - two individuals), existence of a society providing maintenance and reproduction of its members. 

The third term - Religion is chosen from a principle of theoretical possibility of the existence of a NON-RELIGIOUS community of people. Simply put, people can co-exist and regulate the mutual relations without the presence of religion in their life.

However, practical presence and parallel (with the POLITICS) coexistence of a wide set of various sets of non complete knowledge, roughly telling, the errors, trying to carry out frequently a similar regulating (political) role forces to allocate this feature as the separate term.

The fourth term - War (and all derivatives of this term) on the one hand is used for the characteristic of the integral component of POLITICS. On other hand, there is a necessity to allocate a separate term War for the second level as a theoretically permanent state of war in a human society (up to self-destruction of people and even all life on Earth). Better termed anti-politics, it is a reverse of the coin of mutual relations of a human society. Similarly, people could live without wars.

The fifth term Sports (competitiveness) - can cause aversion as concepts of the second level can seem as a highly specialized phenomenon. However, as a global mechanism for comparison, estimation, and revealing exclusive units of the human society by various criteria should remove this stress in perception. The phenomenon Competitiveness in wildlife has a physiological mission, while Sport is a unique characteristic, applicable only to humans.

So far, the global concept SOCIAL consists of the following Categories:

1. Society
2. Politics
3. Religion
4. War
5. Sports

Thus, when choosing one of these categories on the website - remember, we mean SOCIAL in respect to only these terms.

Let's consider the underlying hierarchy of each of these categories.

When considering Society, people usually associate the following terms with it:

The concept of Politics includes the following divisions:

The concept War - rather negative, destructive, but at the same time objective concept:

We only have reached the following global term - MATERIAL. Materialistic (physical) characteristics and activities of a person. In other words, the following attributes are applicable to any human individual:

Well and last, exclusively allocating a human kind, a component is INTELLECTUAL. It is such set of activity of a human brain that causes basic difference of set of human individuals from sets of animals or insects (*). At the expense of the Intelligence the person forms such abstract concept as Culture, set of subjects not existing in the natural nature or the cogitative images, being the material proof (perceived, felt as available sense organs) creative human nature.

In INTELLECTUAL activity by us it is allocated two categories:

If we go far more down on a scale of ranks the picture of distribution of sections will appear as follows:
