Societies
are "divided" generally into two components - social structure and social
processes - that interpenetrate each other; i.e., are dialectically interrelated.
The key to understanding social structure in a society is understanding its social
institutions and their intertwining combinations. Social
structure is the institutional framework that makes for order in daily, weekly, and yearly
interaction between people. It is social institutions that promote the necessary order to
make social structure possible.
