The structural perspective focuses on the role played by institutions in society., It believes that these structures can shape the lives of individuals in our society and that it is very difficult for individuals to exert control over them., For example institutions such as schools use rules/sanctions/codes to control the behaviour of individual pupils., Within the structural perspective there are a number of different theories which try to explain how this happens., Marxists argue that the institutions which control our lives are created by and for the ruling class in society, Functionalists however believe that although the institutions are controlling the lives of individuals they are doing so for the betterment of society as a whole.,
