Discuss
how these social institutions interact with each other. You can start
the discussion from yourself as a senior school student. And move on
to how you are shaped by different social institutions. Are you
entirely controlled or can you also resist and redefine social
institutions?

All the
social institutions of marriage, family and kinship, politics,
education, economics and religion interact and affect each other.
For
instance, religion had its deep impact on the various spheres of
social and cultural life of the individuals affecting the family,
marriage, kinship and education. The religious institutions were so
strong that they even had their affect on political and economic
institutions of the society.
The
religion gave way to the capitalism and had the strongest position in
the society. However, in modern societies religion comparatively has
become less influential. But still has its hold on marriage, family,
kinship and politics
Even in
contemporary societies, family, kinship and marriages are affected by
religion. Similarly, the family and marriages are getting affected by
economic and political policies of the state as well. The functions
of the family members are also indirectly decided by the policies of
the state leading to the fragmentation of family.
These
institutions offer many new opportunities while some even constrain
the individuals. It is very difficult to resist and redefine any
social institution but this can be done through social movements and
protests.
