2. Concepts for analyzing society beginning with individual actor and building in stages to the social system
a. individual actor
status-role= the basic structure governing the individual s participation in a social system; a status is a position in a system of relationships; a role is the behavior expected of someone in a given status
b. interaction
pattern variables= the culturally derived orientations guiding how individuals
relate to each other in given status-roles; there are five pattern variables and each presents two mutually exclusive alternatives to basic questions a person faces in orienting to another person
affective vs. affective neutrality
diffuseness vs. specificity
ascription vs. achievement
particularism vs. universalism
collectivity vs. self
