Social Integration Theory

Social Integration Theory suggests that individuals are more likely to feel connected, committed, and supported within a society when they actively participate in social groups, communities, or shared activities. These connections foster a sense of belonging and mutual understanding, promoting social harmony and stability. When people are well integrated, they are more likely to adhere to societal norms, contribute positively, and experience overall well-being. Conversely, lack of social integration can lead to feelings of isolation, alienation, and social disorganization. Essentially, strong social ties create a cohesive, resilient community where individuals thrive.
