Social roles

Social roles are the expected behaviors and responsibilities that individuals assume in different situations or groups, such as families, workplaces, or communities. These roles help maintain order and define how people interact with one another. For example, a teacher is expected to educate and support students, while a parent is expected to nurture and care for their children. Social roles can vary across cultures and change over time, influencing our identities and social dynamics. Understanding these roles helps individuals navigate social environments and fosters cooperation and communication within society.
