In sociology, ”Social Structure” refers to the organised and regulated ways in which individuals and groups in society interact, interrelate, and organise their lives. It encompasses the norms, values, institutions, and relationships that create a framework for social life. This structure helps maintain order and predictability within society, distinguishing it from ”Social Processes” (changes and interactions within society), ”Social Mobility” (movement within social hierarchies), and ”Social Interaction” (individual and group interactions).
