Social Structure Unit
Social structure in civilizations grouped people based on economic, cultural or religious differences.
These differences led to a certain social class/hierarchy in society - whether they were considered more or less important than other groups. In most civilizations, social mobility was not an option - the class or rank that you were born into, you were not able to progress to another.
