    Social
    Definition:
    institutions
    • Social Institution is a particular segment
    of a society where social relations and
    social roles exist.
    • Social Institutions are units of society
    where behavior patterns are shared and
    played by the members. The goal of
    social institutions is the satisfaction of the
    basic group needs.
    • It may also be defined as a relatively
    permanent structure of social patterns,
    roles and relations of people for the
    purpose of satisfying basic social needs.
    • Social Institutions are the primary
    transmitters of culture and the
    most important agents that
    determine the character and
    personality of the members of
    society.
    The Family being the smallest unit
    of society plays a very important
    role in the development of
    personality and values formation.
    It is the first social institution that
    socializes the individual and
    provides his basic social needs,
    where the mother is the primary
    agent of socialization.
    In the absence of the father at home
    due to his work, the mother takes
    the the authority in the family, this
    type of family is called
    Matricentric family.
