Social system

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In sociology, a social system is a bunch of relationships between people, groups and institutions.[1] It is a structure of role and status that can form in a small, stable group. Anyone can belong to multiple social systems at once; examples of social system units are the nuclear family, communities, cities, nations, and religions. The organization of groups within a social system depend on many shared parts like location, socioeconomic and social status, religion, societal function, race, and other parts.
