Anybody doing Chemistry at any level will know what "organic compounds" means!

What do you mean by "in society" ? Do you mean synthetic organic compounds ? Natural organic compounds are the basis of life. A world without organic compounds is dead.

The greatest benefit I have obtained from organic compounds is that I am made of them.

Another benefit is that all other plant and animal life on this planet is also made of them.
