Structure is encountered as a constraining external “fact”, BUT it is created and maintained through interaction
E.g. a high-schooler's peer group
Structure has as much to do with relationships (tendencies toward interation) as roles (institutionalized expectations)
E.g. structural division between students and instructors
Small-scale structures, as specific entities (based on relationships, rules, heuristics) imply something about global structures in general
E.g. being friends with your friends' friends
