Making Society

Bringing the World into Being

New!

From: Making Sense of Society

$2.60

In Chapter 3, Khasnabish examines social order as a complex amalgamation of material practices, relationships, institutions, and ideologies which create a society. In a very real sense, each of us makes society every day by acting it into being, by continuing to believe in it, and by investing in it emotionally, intellectually, and physically. The chapter discusses topics including enculturation and socialization, power, ideology, and consent and coercion. It includes an excerpt from Ardath Whynacht.
