It is formed by the group activities controlled by an interrelated set of norms, while the group activities have inherent purpose of action that is to satisfy human needs. When we talk of societal processes we take society in action, while we discuss norms individuals are not taken into consideration but their shared expectations are given priority. When such norms are interrelated and crystallized pertaining to relatively limited activities of mankind at one time and a given space it becomes a social institution.
