Functionalism

Psychology

Were a happy Family!

  • How the consciousness functions to help humans adapt to their own environment.
  • 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.

  • Within the framework of the nuclear family, it identified with four family functions which if were ignored, society would not exist.

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.

Functionalism

Sexual, Reproduction, Economic and Education

  • The sociological theory that looks at how a society is organized to perform its required functions effectively.
  • It interprets each part of society in terms of it and contributes the stability of the whole society.

  • Emile Durkheim.

Anthropology

Sociology

  • Theoretical orientation that looks for the function that a certain aspect of culture or social life plays, in maintaining a cultural system.
  • Meaning which society consists of different but related parts, each of which serves a purpose.

Example.

  • To maintain a state of balance and social equilibrium for the whole.
  • A body has many organs, and the organs function to keep humans alive.

-The heart pumps blood not only for its sake but its function is to pump blood into the rest of your body so we can stay alive.

  • Religion to play the function of maintaining harmony and social cohesion.

Example.

  • Society is constructed of different inter-dependent compounds such as the family and education.
  • Each of the social institutions contributes important functions for society.

- Family provides a context for reproducing, nurturing and socializing children.

-Education offers a way to transmit a society's skill, knowledge, and culture to its youth.
