Structuration theory

Structuration theory is a way of looking at how patterns of social behaviour are developed over time. It explains how people have different roles in society and how these roles help shape the structure of society. For example, a family might have a mother and father, and their roles are different. The father might take care of the finances, while the mother takes care of the children. This structure helps the family stay organized and make decisions. Structuration theory looks at how these patterns are created, maintained, and changed over time.
