Answer to Question 1

Social structure is the framework that surround us, consisting of the relationships of people and groups, which gives direction and sets limits of behavior. The sociological significance of social structure is that it guides our behavior. In the classroom, the instructor provides a syllabus outlining what the course will cover and the expectations of students. It probably includes the professor's office hours, telephone number, and e-mail address. Class starts at a specific time when all students are expected to be ready to begin and ends at a specific time when all students expect the professor to excuse them.

Answer to Question 2

A social network refers to people who are linked to one another where the social ties radiate outward from the self that link people together. A clique is a cluster of people within a larger group who choose to interact with one another.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
