Me again! =D ........ help plz!

Hi, again! Well, as some of you know, from my posts of these past few days, I �m preparing a workshop on Competence Based Teaching.... well, I am going to include info on basic life skills, and I came across a doubt.... (I like to be well prepared, as I KNOW teachers will ask questions!)
What, in your opinion, is the difference between: Coexistence and Life in Society?

Life in society is when you participate, talk to people, get interested in what they �re doing, share information and so on.
Coexistence is when you �re close, like living in the forest, but you don �t care what �s going on around you.

By Life in Society, do you mean Life in a society / Living in a society?
I would use the article �a � here, because Society can have other meanings.
The main difference I see is this:
To coexist is to live side by side, but not necessarily be interacting.
To live in a society is to have interaction. |

The big difference for me is the interaction. Living in a society includes having a relation with the people around you. It is "compulsory" interact to live.
But , in a big city , we sometimes coexist because you don �t know who is person living next to you. In a village, it �s quite different, you live in a society. You interact more. |

Thank you all for your opinions, they are very useful and have helped me have a clearer understanding to be able to explain this to the teachers in my workshop!
Thanks again!!
