The term Structure has in different traditions, different meanings. In the structuralist tradition of social theory, a structure means a set of stable and stabilizing patterns of social life that shape human agency. In structuration theory, structures are seen as rules and recources inherent in social practices (Lippuner & Werlen, 2009, p. 39)
