Socio-cultural System

Definition:

A sociocultural system is a physical and/or theoretical structure where humans interact in society using their culture.

Background:

        Sociocultural systems are the building blocks of society. They are the structure for where humans share (social) experiences (culture) which can then be learned from used to their advantage in order to better their society. Stemming from the anthropological background, there are countless examples of humans bettering their society through sociocultural systems. Some of the major systems that are leading society are religion, education, politics, and law. While these are the more well-known systems there are subsystems that support the major ones. One way to think about it is the infrastructure that holds up the city, for example, marriage is vitally important for religion.
