👉 Structuralism is a philosophical and sociological theory that emphasizes the importance of structure, meaning, and organization in understanding human behavior and society. It argues that humans are fundamentally structured by their social relationships, institutions, and systems, which are built around structures such as power dynamics, class hierarchies, and cultural norms. Structuralists propose that these structures can be broken down into more basic units or "parts" called subsystems, which they argue have a deeper meaning and significance in human experience.
