Psychology
Were a happy Family!

- Functionalists have identified a number of functions that families are to typically perform: reproduction; socialization; assignment of status; and regulation of sexual behavior through social norms.
-The family creates well-integrated members of society by teaching the social culture to children.
- Functionalists view the family as a nuclear family structure.
Example.

When you type in data a PC begins to analyze the
data that you've entered.
Just like the PC your brain receives data as well;
-What you hear -What you feel -What you taste
-What you smell -What you touch
Your brain also analyzes the data and then will create a behavior which is appropriate as socially normal that responds to your surroundings.
= The nature of functionalism.
