MINI-LESSON

STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM

 STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM is a sociological theory that seeks

to understand society by examining the relationships between its various
social institutions and how they function to maintain social order and
stability.
 STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM posits that shared values, norms,
and social structures hold societies together. These elements serve as the
foundation for maintaining social integration and cohesion. According to
this perspective, social institutions, such as the FAMILY, EDUCATION,
GOVERNMENT, RELIGION, and ECONOMY, exist to fulfill essential
functions that contribute to society's overall functioning and stability.

PRINCIPLES OF STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM

1. SOCIAL STRUCTURE- Structural functionalism emphasizes the

significance of social structures in shaping and maintaining social order.
Social structures refer to the patterns of social relationships, institutions,
norms, and values that organize and guide human behavior within a
society.
2. FUNCTION- Structural functionalism posits that social structures serve
specific functions or purposes in maintaining the stability and cohesion
of society. Each social structure is believed to contribute to the overall
functioning and well-being of society as a whole.
3. SOCIAL SOLIDARITY- Structural functionalism emphasizes the
importance of social integration and solidarity in maintaining social
order. Social solidarity refers to the level of cohesion and connectedness
among individuals in a society, which is fostered by shared values,
norms, and collective beliefs.
4. STABILITY AND EQUILIBRIUM- Structural functionalism views
society as a system that seeks equilibrium and stability. It suggests that
societies have mechanisms to restore balance and resolve any
dysfunctions or disruptions that may arise.
5. MANIFEST AND LATENT FUNCTIONS- Structural functionalism
distinguishes between manifest functions and latent functions. Manifest
functions are the intended and recognized consequences of social
structures, while latent functions are unintended or unrecognized
consequences that may also occur.
