Essay / Research Paper Abstract
14 pages in length. To live within a given society is to conform to the inherent structural components as dictated by the culture that governs the society. Anthony Giddens' theory of structuration illustrates how social and political structure is an ever-evolving entity whose composition cannot be relied upon to remain stagnant; rather, this structure must be looked at from a perspective of theoretical dichotomies that require reconciliation, not the least of which includes agency/structure, subjective/objective, and micro/macro angles. Noting how social practices are "ordered across space and time" (Giddens, 1986, p. 2), the theorist points to the inescapable correlation between agent and collective sum of society whereby agency and structure are equally influenced and addressed. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

least of which includes agency/structure, subjective/objective, and micro/macro angles. Noting how social practices are "ordered across space and time" (Giddens, 1986, p. 2), the theorist points to the inescapable
correlation between agent and collective sum of society whereby agency and structure are equally influenced and addressed. "...Such changeable structural properties of political or social systems are both the
medium and the outcome of the practices that they recursively organize. Meanwhile, the theory acknowledges what Giddens...called unintended conditions, such as corruption, as structural constraints that organizations cannot fundamentally
change but to which they must react" (Luo, 2006, p. 747). II. NORMS AND MORES Experiencing life requires much more than merely
going through the paces of ones existence; rather, the various developmental stages inherent to personal growth require cognitive awareness in order to achieve a true state of being. Myriad
people do not realize the abundant elements that comprise cultural development in wholly diverse areas of the world, often incorrectly surmising that ones transition from childhood to adolescence and advanced
education to career are all a matter of happenstance no matter where they occur. This presumption, however, does not reflect the intrinsic responsibilities of external influence upon ones cultural
development, a reality that serves to divide societies more than align them with one another. The ethical approaches of purpose, principle and consequence are integral components of structuration; itemizing
these contributions finds one incorporating the interests of ethics and morality within the social structure of norms and mores. Society is bound by a set of rules - some written,
