Social resources directly benefit human society by referring to the networks, institutions, and services that provide social support and facilitate community interaction and cohesion. This category encompasses elements like education, healthcare, and governance, all of which contribute to societal well-being and enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities.

While living resources, water resources, and natural and beneficial functions are vital to our ecosystems and can tangentially affect human society, they do not directly embody the frameworks and systems that immediately support human interaction and societal development as social resources do. Social resources foster collaboration and community resilience, which are essential components for a thriving society.
