Social structure
Social structure is a concept of sociology , which in the first half of the 20th century in the relationship doctrine of Leopold von Wiese was coined. The term denotes a number of interconnected social relationships that are imperceptible to the senses and affect reality . These relationships are interpreted, in von Wieses words, "in daily life as a unit".
With the decreasing importance of relationship theory, this term has also become rare.
