To put it another way, it&#8217;s not <i>merely<\/i> a mass of &#8216;micro&#8217;-level activity &#8211; but on the other hand, you can&#8217;t study it by only looking for &#8216;macro&#8217;-level explanations. Instead, Giddens suggests, human agency and social structure are in a relationship with each other, and it is the repetition of the acts of individual agents which reproduces the structure. &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>!Whoot whoot!
