We present a model of society. Human relations are strengthened by communication and eroded by time. Communication is, in general, related to some social activity (work, friendship, hobby) or social context. Therefore we postulate that individuals having different social needs participate in a number of social contexts (family, workplace etc.) - which may also evolve in time - and communicate with other members of the contexts using different communication channels (face to face, phone, email, etc.) for different purposes and with different impact on their relationship. We show that using realistic input data from surveys and statistical data one can reproduce important features of real society like Dunbar's numbers and their meaning.
