Also known as social institution, social institutions, system
An institution is a humanly devised structure of rules and norms that shape and constrain social behavior. All definitions of institutions generally entail that there is a level of persistence and continuity. Laws, rules, social conventions and norms are all examples of institutions. Institutions vary in their level of formality and informality. Institutions embody a great deal of knowledge of how to do things in society and have been described as the social science equivalent of theories in the natural sciences.
AI overview
An institution is a system of rules, norms, and social conventions—ranging from formal laws to informal customs—that guides how people behave and interact in society. Institutions matter because they contain accumulated knowledge about how societies function, they provide stability and continuity over time, and they shape human behavior in ways that enable social coordination and order.
