Social Processes is a broad, overarching category in sociology that refers to the dynamic, recurrent patterns of social interaction, relationships, and changes that shape and maintain society over time. These are the fundamental ways in which individuals and groups interact, influence each other, and collectively create, reproduce, or transform social structures and cultural patterns. Key social processes include socialisation (learning norms and values), social interaction (how people act and react to each other), social change (significant alterations in society), and social control (mechanisms for regulating behaviour). Other processes involve social mobility (movement within stratification), migration (population movements), and deviance (norm violation). This category provides a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of social life, emphasizing that society is not static but constantly in flux through ongoing interactions, adaptations, and transformations that occur at micro, meso, and macro levels.
