Role
A role or social role is a set of connected behaviours, rights, obligations, beliefs, and norms as conceptualised by actors in a social situation. It is an expected or free or continuously changing behaviour and may have a given individual social status or social position. It is vital to both functionalist and interactionist understandings of society. Social role posits the following about social behaviour:
⁕The division of labour in society takes the form of the interaction among heterogeneous specialised positions, we call roles.
⁕Social roles included appropriate and permitted forms of behaviour, guided by social norms, which are commonly known and hence determine the expectations for appropriate behaviour in these roles.
⁕Roles are occupied by individuals, who are called actors.
⁕When individuals approve of a social role, they will incur costs to conform to role norms, and will also incur costs to punish those who violate role norms.
⁕Changed conditions can render a social role outdated or illegitimate, in which case social pressures are likely to lead to role change.
