Description
Social structure and organization encompasses all aspects of society, the economy and even our personal lives. As human beings, we are directly involved in these social structures and organizations from the beginning, starting with the family. We may be born in a hospital, and we may be buried by a funeral society. The school that educates us is an organization, as is the store where we buy our food, the company that makes our car, and the people who collect income tax, collect garbage, and so on. The social structure and organization course is then held to deeply study and critically analyze the closest thing to our daily lives as individuals and societies.
