Symbolic Order

Symbolic Order refers to the structures, norms, and symbols that shape how individuals understand the world and their place within it. It encompasses language, cultural practices, values, and social norms that guide interactions and communication within a society. This order influences beliefs, identities, and relationships, often establishing hierarchies and power dynamics. In essence, the Symbolic Order is the underlying framework that organizes social life, allowing people to make sense of their experiences and communicate effectively with one another.
