Concept of Social Structure
Particular system, institution or pattern
Several parts put together to form an integrated whole
Compared to human body

“Structure refers to a definable articulation, and ordered arrangements of parts. It is related to the outer aspect or the framework of a society and is totally unconcerned with the functional part of the society.” – Nadel, 1942
Nadel on social structure
‘Structure relates to definable articulation, ordered arrangements of parts, of social relations into structural roles and positions.’
Social roles crucial in the analysis of social structure.
Social structures are networks of social relations
Can be studied in terms of coherence or interlocking into system
These networks are created among the individuals when they interact with each other according to their status in accordance with the patterns of a society



Social structure is relatively invariant or unchangeable while the parts are variable or changeable according to the rules in the society.
The rules and patterns are limited and do not change easy therefore there is orderliness in the society
If the change in the parts do not adhere to the institutionalized rules it would lead to chaos

Three criteria of social structure
Social structure is based on :
Repetitiveness of social phenomena
Durability of the social phenomena
Moving equilibrium
