Emphasizes process of how larger social structures influence individuals. Processes that occur in group contexts regularly emerge in interactions. Social norms and values: social norms are behavioural guidelines the rules that regulate our behaviour in relationships. Institutions are different from other sets of relationships because they involve complex sets of rules or laws that serve to guide behaviour. Individuals usually learn the rules associated with a given institution through their interactions with other people.
