Integration refers to a characteristic of a social system, e.g. a society. The more a society is integrated, the more closely and the more intensely its constituent parts (groups or individuals) relate to one another.
Integration can also be perceived from the perspective of groups and individuals. All groups and individuals display a certain degree of integration within a given society, and we can measure to what extent this is the case.
