Social forms
Social forms refer to the structured patterns of social relationships and interactions within a society. They encompass the various ways individuals and groups organize themselves, such as institutions (like families, schools, and governments), norms (shared rules of behavior), and roles (expected behaviors associated with a position). These forms help shape culture, guide behavior, and enable social cohesion and cooperation. Understanding social forms allows us to better comprehend how societies function, how individuals relate to one another, and the impact of societal structures on personal experiences and community dynamics.
