South Vietnam's social structure was similar to the US's social structure, except it was under extreme military influence due to the constant warring over the last 30 years; e.g. many people wore military clothing (surplus or otherwise), military surplus construction material covered civilian homes, bridges, roads, etc. South Vietnam was "supposed" to be structured (modeled after) along "free" country lines, such as the US, or any other NON-Communist country. E.g. freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of education, selling & trading (capitalism), etc. US personnel in country, were to respect those same social traditions, as they would in the United States.

Any traditional ingrained Vietnamese traditions were NOT interferred with by the US Government, unless they violated common sense human dignity laws. If the South Vietnamese Government expected to continue to receive US assistance, they had to comply with US Policies of human rights & dignity.

How is the social structure described through a story or book character?

This varies greatly by book and character, but social structure can be found in any story. They say "you write what you know". This is very true in this scenario , every author either accidentally or on purpose will present social structure as it was, as it is, or how they would like it to be.
