The practice addresses the production and reproduction of specific ways of engaging with the world. It is practical and involves everyday activity. The practice involves getting things done by providing resolution of institutional conflicts, keeping a community memory, welcoming newcomers, generating necessary perspectives and terms, and making the job habitual.
Social practice is more than just doing.
It is doing in a historical and social context. It is a description of a culture about which a community forms and it consists of shared historical and social resources. It represents the framework and the perspective within which the members of the community engage one another in action. It includes the explicit and the tacit. The practice produces meaning socially.
