Social System Theory

Social System Theory views society as a complex network of interconnected parts, such as families, schools, healthcare, and government, each influencing and maintaining stability within the whole. These components work together through rules, norms, and roles to ensure social order and function effectively. Changes in one part can affect others, demonstrating the interconnectedness of social institutions. The theory helps us understand how societies regulate behavior, adapt to challenges, and sustain cohesion over time, highlighting the importance of structure and relationships in shaping social life.
