There are tons of interesting questions like that which makes this definition of society much deeper... if that makes sense :)

Society either accepts them or they don't, depending on those within the society. I have a lot of experience with those you have mentioned. I grew up in Huston TX and saw prostitutes, homeless people, etc. all the time. Being in a city, the general population accepted that crime was going to be there and didn't do much in the way of preventing it. When I moved to Ohio at 9, I saw no where near the prostitutes, but there were a lot more drug dealers. People provide services based on what people will pay for. I now live in the Midwest and have never seen a single prostitute, and I could possibly score some pot of I really really looked for it. People here don't want that kind of crap around and will not pay them for their services so they will not set up shop here. And yes, I know that there are a million and one if's and's and but's on my definition of society. My definition is the broadest one. There are more details then I can hammer down on each society on this planet. Broadly, everyone can stand up for what they believe in. If I did it, the worst I could get was a fine if I protested without a license. If someone under a horrible regime did it, they could face being shot after watching their entire family murdered. The devil is always in the details.
