 A social structure is maintained by proper adjustment of
relationships among the different institutions.
 No institutions works in alone.
 Religion, education, family, government and business all
interact on each other.
 Thus education creates attitudes which influence the
acceptance or rejection of religious beliefs.
 Business conditions may influence the family life.
 Unemployment may determine the number of people who
feel unable to marry.
 Thus social institutions are closely related to each other.
 The family is the center while education, religion,
government and economics are the spokes of the wheel.
 Breakdown of economic institutions may have radical
effects upon political institutions.
 Any change in an institution may led to a change in the
other institutions.
 No institution can avoid affecting other institutions or
avoid being affected by others.
Thank you
