Discuss how these social institutions interact with each other. You can start the discussion from yourself as a senior school student. And move on to how you are shaped by different social institutions. Are you entirely controlled or can you also resist and redefine social institutions?



Answer -

All the social institutions ofmarriage, family and kinship, politics, education, economics and religioninteract and affect each other.

Forinstance, religion had its deep impact on the various spheres of social andcultural life of the individuals affecting the family, marriage, kinship andeducation. The religious institutions were so strong that they even had theiraffect on political and economic institutions of the society.

Thereligion gave way to the capitalism and had the strongest position in thesociety. However, in modern societies religion comparatively has become lessinfluential. But still has its hold on marriage, family, kinship and politics

Even incontemporary societies, family, kinship and marriages are affected by religion.Similarly, the family and marriages are getting affected by economic andpolitical policies of the state as well. The functions of the family members arealso indirectly decided by the policies of the state leading to thefragmentation of family.

Theseinstitutions offer many new opportunities while some even constrain theindividuals. It is very difficult to resist and redefine any social institutionbut this can be done through social movements and protests.
