Global society - all-human society, which exists on our planet from the beginnings of humanity in the form of many local societies and communities, national states etc., in another words - in the form of different groups of people.
The concept of global society becomes very actual in our times because with this concept most of today world social processes can be described and explained in very simple words.
[edit] History of the idea
Very similar concepts were known from ancient times. For example, idea of cosmopolitan (citizen of the world, that is of cosmopolia - global society, society of the world in the ancient Greek).
