Secret societies are groups of individuals who gather in a way that is concealed from those who are not members of the group. (http://eds.b.ebscohost.com)

Some of these societies are structured as clubs, while others are hereditary, meaning that membership is passed from parent to child. Also, other secret societies are made up of a small group of members of a much larger organization. (http://eds.b.ebscohost.com)

Yes, Freemasons are a secret society. What is secretive about the Freemasons is that they have a hierarchical system of membership, with rituals and texts which are only accessible to a select number of members. (http://eds.b.ebscohost.com)

The development of the internet made the meetings of the secret societies a lot easier, since most secret societies now meet online. One example is a group, Anonymous, which is a group where they try to uncover political and social unfairness to make acts know to the people.
