 Early studies of social structure provide important insights into our understanding of institutions, culture, agency, social interaction, and history. Important scholars such as Marx, Weber, and Durkheim have all contributed to this. Social structures include relationships between people, enduring patterns of behavior, and institutionalized norms or cognitive frameworks. It can be divided into microstructure and macrostructure, and also includes different dimensions such as normative structure, ideal structure, interest structure and interaction structure. At the same time, the relationship between structure and agency has also attracted much attention, and scholars have proposed various theories to explain the interaction between the two.

Interesting point:

 Seymour's extensive research: Seymour not only focused on dominating and being dominated, competition, division of labor, etc., but also studied various social groups, such as states, religious groups, economic organizations, and art schools. and family and kinship networks, demonstrating the diversity of social structures.

Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3.

  1. Summary Technology encompasses the techniques, methods, and processes used to produce goods or services and achieve various objectives. It includes knowledge of these processes and their application in machines and devices. A prominent example is mobile phones, which have transformed communication by eliminating the need for direct telephone lines and altering social norms and behaviors. Social networks, while beneficial for maintaining connections, can also perpetuate objectionable behaviors and gender inequalities.
