Young diagrams frequently appear in the study of partitions and representations of the symmetric group. By filling these diagrams with numbers, we obtain Young tableau, combinatorial objects onto which we can define the structure of a monoid via insertion algorithms. We will explore this structure and it's connection to a basis of the ring of symmetric polynomials. If we have time, we will mention alternative monoid structures and their corresponding bases.
