The structuration theory is a theory who expresses the idea that social reality is being continually (re)produced and structured in space and time by competent actors in their everyday praxis (Lippuner & Werlen, 2009). So society is made by human agency, and society create human agency. The basic assumption of structuration theory is that social sciences must not explore societes or social life in structural categories, but rather in concepts of action and institutionalized practices (Lippuner & Werlen, 2009).
