Sociofacts refer to the social structures and organizations in a culture that influence social behavior.
Consider sociofacts as the apps on your phone. Each app has its own set of rules (like how you interact with it) just like each social structure in society has its own set of guidelines for behavior.
Institutions: These are established entities in society such as family, education systems, government etc., which help organize social life.
Social Stratification: This refers to the division of society into different levels based on factors like wealth, power etc.
Role Expectations: These are societal expectations about how individuals should behave in certain roles (like being a student, parent etc).
