Answer:

The actions of individuals, groups and institutions affect society directly, through both intended and unintended consequences.

This is so because it is understood that, within a society, all its members are related to each other through human relationships of various kinds, such as family, work, friendship or even everyday relationships. This implies that, necessarily, the actions of a member of the company have a direct impact on another or other members of it. For example, the fact that a couple decides to move to live together in an apartment would imply that one of the parties would abandon their home, leaving that place available for a new tenant. Thus, the intended consequence of such action would be the gradual formation of a family among the members of the couple, while an unintended consequence could be the increase in the supply of rental housing.
