Question:  In Why Both Social Structure and Culture Matter in a Holistic Analysis of Inner-City Poverty by William Julius Wilson (2010) he states, Social structure refers to the way social positions, social roles, and networks of social relationships are arranged in our institutions, such as the economy, polity, education, and the organization of the family (2010; 201).  He goes on to state that Social processes refer to the machinery of society that exists to promote ongoing relations between members of the larger group (2010: 201).  Defining and then bringing together the concepts of social structure and borrowing from the lectures, readings, and books discuss how the social context shapes the lives of the poor.
