Social structure is the organized set of social institutions and patterns of institutionalized relationships that together compose society. Social structure is both a product of social interaction and directly determines it. Social structures are not immediately visible to the untrained observer, however, they are always present and affect all dimensions of human experience in society. Social structure are very important in our life. Social structure helps to bonding relations in our society with each other. (Bolíbar, 2018)
The Macro Level of Society The major social institutions recognized as- family, religion, education, media ,law, politics and economy. These distinct institutions that are interrelated, interdependent and together help compose the overarching in the social structure of society. These institutions organize our social relationships to others and create patterns of social relations when viewed on a large scale. For example, the institution of social relationships and roles, including mother, father, son, daughter, husband, wife, etc., and there is typically a hierarchy to these relationships, which results in a power differential. The same goes for religion, education, law, and politics. (Bolíbar, 2018)
The Meso Level of Social Structure Our social networks are also a manifestation of social stratification. Social relations between people-

The Micro Level of Social Structure manifests at the micro level in the everyday interactions we have with each other in the forms of norms and customs. We can see it present in the way patterned institutionalized relationships shape our interactions within certain institutions like family and education, religion, shape what we expect from others, how we expect to be seen by them, and how we interact together.

Karl marx and weber
During their lifetime, there were several different points of view between Marx and Weber; the greatest sociologists, economists and revolutionary thinkers of their day. Marx and Weber investigated the social classes in various ways. There was a key role, in their perspective or methods, that was an important issue for humanitarian communities at this time and it was that of why there was inequality between the social classes, of why people had been stratified into differing social groups, and of what created this kind of division in society In Marx’s theory it can be seen that it was deeply related to production and historical materialism. He supposed that in developed society, dissimilar social classes were formed owing to the production processes at the time. Marx believed that conflict between social classes in society had the result of controlling the production process causing a direct struggle with one another particularly in the industrial society The Marx’s view point of the proletariat is victim of the system and its potential gravedigger. As Marx clearly asserted in his preface to Capital, this class perspective is at the root of his critique of bourgeois political economy. It is from this social viewpoint that values as "justice" are reinterpreted: their concrete meaning is not the same according to the situation and the interests of different classes” Weber’s thinking, in terms of social class, is similar to Marx, he believed that owning private materials played a role in the creation of social classes in societies, he also believed that the differences between social classes in society might be the cause of social struggle between them but not like that of which Marx mentioned. Weber had seen that the social conflict between the classes over production goods as a normal conflict in every society .Weber believed that differences among people and group them into various social classes in all societies (Society & GmbH, 2018)

In conclusion, social structure is composed of social institutions and patterns of institutionalized relationships, but we also understand it as present in the social networks that connect us, and in the interactions that fill our everyday lives.
