Why and How?Slide9

But despite the problems,

social institutions cannot be abolished.

There could be pandemonium without them.Slide10

Institutional Intersections

Micro-Macro links

The connections between social institutions, organizations, and individual behavior

(E.g. Education Unit 5 NCHS Mr. Robinson You)

Or the connections between institutions, social structure, and our socially constructed reality

Institutions do not exist in isolation; they work together

Politics and economy and education

Economics and family and gender

Politics and race and gender and economy

Etc.Slide11

As we discuss different social institutions, always be thinking about

institutional intersections
