What to Focus On

  • Social structure is the organized pattern of social relationships.
  • It includes institutions, groups, statuses, and roles.
  • It provides stability and order in society.
  • Values guide what is considered important in society.
  • Norms are rules that regulate behavior.
  • Groups and institutions are key units of social structure.
  • Status is a social position with rights and duties.
  • Ascribed status is assigned at birth (e.g., caste, gender).
  • Achieved status is earned through effort (e.g., profession, rank).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Status and role are the same thing — they both refer to a person’s job or position in society.

All statuses are earned through hard work — if you work hard, you can achieve any status.

Social structure is only about rich and poor — it’s the same as economic class.
