"Social fabric" is an umbrella term for the interconnected systems and social relations that form the basis of our societies. It is composed of a range of entities, including family networks, political organisations, cultural and religious institutions, social networks, and other vital components that shape our understanding of the world. All of these elements create a complex web of relationships, obligations, and expectations that support the social order and enable people to successfully navigate the world around them. The way in which these systems intertwine and how they are maintained, repaired, and adapted over time are fundamental to our growth, development, and wellbeing as a society.
