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.
