Activity 4. Where I can use it

Direction: Give a certain situation happening in your barangay where you can apply any of the
given perspectives. Explain it with clear descriptions in your notebook.

If I will apply any of the given perspective, I will apply the functionalist perspective. In
functionalist perspective, societies are thought to function like organisms, with various social
institutions working together like organs to maintain and reproduce societies. It means that
every individual has their own function that contributes to the stability of a society. In our
barangay, the covid cases are increasing and many people are affected. Functionalist
perspective will be a great way to know how to lower the number of the cases by
understanding the root of the problem and to come up a solution to solve the problem. For
example, the barangay official will provide information and give regulations to control the
issue which the residents should follow and obey. The officials should provide help and guide
the residents while the residents should be cooperative. Every individual has their own
function and everyone works together which will make the barangay a better and safe place
to live in.
