Study of human society and social relationships.
Societal structures are the organized patterns of relationships and roles that shape how a society functions. Institutions are large, established systems—like schools, governments, and religions—that guide how people behave.
Societies often have layers based on wealth, status, or power. This affects access to opportunities and resources.
Understanding societal structures helps us identify why some groups have advantages over others and how we might create fairer systems.
A government passes a law to make education free for all children.
Religious organizations organize charity events to help those in need.
Institutions shape our lives by organizing how society runs.
