Which term refers to 'clusters of rules and meanings associated with specific social activities'?

• A. Centrality
• B. Social Mobility
• C. Institution
• D. Competition

Answer: (C)

The idea is that social activities are guided by established patterns of behavior—the rules, norms, and shared meanings that people expect to follow. In the social sciences this collection of rules and meanings is called an institution. In PE, you can see it in how sports have formal rules, defined roles, and agreed codes of conduct that shape how the activity is carried out, learned, and judged. These institutions give structure and predictability to participation, so everyone knows what counts as fair play and how to behave during the activity. Centrality focuses on where someone sits in a social network, not on the bundled rules or meanings. Social mobility is about moving between social layers, not about patterns of behavior. Competition describes the drive to win, a feature of activity rather than the organized framework that governs it.
