What is meant by 'structural influences' on identity?

Question

I'm fairly certain I understand the term, but I need some examples to ensure I am interpreting it correctly in context. This is for a Social Science module, and the above question is not the question I am answering, just something I need clarified before tackling my assignment. Thanks.

Answer 1

the agencies, education, relgiion, media, or use sturcutural theories, e.g. marxism, functionalism, weberianism, ffeminsm blah blahism

Answer 2

i got this from wikipedia so dont quote it

"Structure" reffers to those factors such as social class, religion, gender, ect which seems to limit or influence the opportunities individuals have.

good luck!!
