Artificial society is the computer simulation in the social sciences. Artificial society is a bottom-up computer simulation method, we could not only analyze complex social system use the method, but also we can investigate all possible development of the artificial social system by change the parameters in the computer simulation. In this paper, we simulate the artificial society under different rules by using Matlab and NetLogo, with this artificial social systems, we can observe the various social emergence phenomena in this system, thus help our research.First of all, we use the game theory to study the emergence of social organizations, namely the cooperation in human societies. And we promote the emergence of cooperation by changing the artificial rules of artificial society– leading cooperation. Cellular Automata based on the Von Neumann neighbors model of rational behavior from the members of the starting, in a 20×20 the establishment of the artificial society model repeated Prisoner's Dilemma game Model, adding Lonely common deception strategies in order to avoid the "frozen" and the introduction of mechanisms for social mobility. By the simulation, analysis and discussion focus on the evaluation of the strategy, the punishment mechanism and its weight, the flow strength of the behavior of social groups. (See Appendix B simulation program)The using of repeated Prisoner's Dilemma game model, we study the emergence of the artificial social system, human cooperation. Then we can explain a lot of phenomenon of the human system by SugarScape model, For example: Matthew Effect. In the simulation environment of SugarScape, with the passage of time, uneven distribution of wealth will emerge.Finally, we simulated the sexual reproduction of actual social system. We can see that sexual reproduction can promote the evolution of Agent and the growth of social wealth through the computer simulation. (See Appendix C simulation program)...
