Document Summary
Structures - regularized patters or pressures that constrain human conduct and behaviour; nature movement of following - overwhelmed by the structures and have no choice but to follow the powerful and strict norm. Social movements, individual lives, in political institutions. big explosions of agency vs. small agencies in individual lives. Idea of active citizenship - leads back to greek polis, implies you are an agent in the government and everyday political life. Realist perspective - gure out when you can win and when you can not, and only argue when you can win and when it is effective. Question of emphasis - existing structures challenge and guide the human ways or emphasis on the decision and agency in which people change and create the structure or something outside of the structure. Ex. structure - sidewalk, guides how we walk, where we walk.
