This is 100% a sociological take though. Ie: it is in part doing sociology. Perhaps without knowing it, you've arrived at an Althusserian perspective on structuralism through the lens of conflict theory.

Do you suppose that these institutions be systematically studied and can we build models of how they work to reproduce the status quo?
