Functionalism is a theory of society that focuses on the structures that create the society and on how the society is able to remain stable.

I'm utterly blown away by how to synthesize information. I hope to God that one day I shall be able to present my ideas so concisely like you.

In this short clip, the video has a good explanation of the topic functionalism, it refers to a psychological philosophy that considers mental life and behaviour in terms of active adaptation to the person's environment. The example given in this video explained how people live and fulfil their basic needs and what functionalism focuses on is both social fact as well as institutions but the majority of the part is played by institutions. Functionalism is focused on maintaining equilibrium in a society that little significant change is modelled and no conflict can occur, It is helpful in understanding the working of socity by examining the functions of its integral structures.

Just helped me do my homework! Thanks! It is far more interesting to hear something talked about than to read about it in a textbook.

@silasshaw848 7 лет назад

Watching this video clarified my knowledge of the topic so quickly, thanks for hurrying my homework along and insuring that I was able to get my homework done before the pre game started

Hey Sydney, just thought i should tell you that im a 18 year old secondary school student(gymnasiet in Sweden) and your video(this one and 2 other) were shown to me in sociology class on the big screen to 30 other students. You are doing something great, keep it up.

@alorikkoln 4 года назад

I agree with him. He understood it very well. Social facts often change, but when they change or abolish necessary structures, such as the church or the nuclear family, then it's: "Houston, we have a problem."

@cnoble774 11 лет назад

I had read my sociology book three times and heard my professor talk these theories numerous time since school started yet it still didn't understand. Thanks made it a lot simpler.

@creepycrawlything 3 года назад

Sydney's exposition of the various schools of thought or approaches or theories in social science; make it clear that all of those aspects of social science, are ideologies as well as whatever else they are. We can subscribe to and invest in a particular school of thought, or methodological approach or theory, because a particular one resonates with us as persons or as members of a grouping, because a particular one 'works' for us while others might not. So such schools or thought and methodological approaches and theories, gain adherence or do not across a meta-circumstance on a deeper plane than those three aspects of social science address.

People don't realize it but when societies get bigger, individuals become even more dependent on each other. This is largely because of the division of labor. Think of a man, or woman, who lives in the woods and grows all his or her own food and makes all his own clothes. Now, compare him or her to someone in New York who doesn't ever do laundry or wash dishes. There's nothing objectively wrong with either scenario. They're just different ways of living as human beings. Damn, I wrote this right before she said it near the end. I guess that's my sociology degree influencing how I think. I can't recommend sociology highly enough. It makes living in society so much more meaningful.

Rajan Prakash hi, how are you?

@rastafariauz8841 7 лет назад

It says functionalism gives little attention to individuals but aren't individuals at the core of the whole idea of institution? As i see it individuals make up an institution. How them specializing in something and them being interdependent on each other in a modern society undermine one's individual value?

@andrewwherry7727 7 лет назад

Rastafaria, kind of. Many individuals make up a society, but the lose of any particular one doesn't really affect the society as a whole. Their are exceptions to the rule. ALWAYS. But, from the functionalist perspective society continues as before whether you are dead or alive, adjusting the distribution to account for your now lacking productivity until the equilibrium is restored and someone takes your place on the production line. Now, you might be able to stretch your point to the family and work it down to the individual. As we are all human it is our natural instinct to want to continue our genetics through copulation. Now we could do that by having lots of partners and lots of children. However we have only limited time and resources to give to each and every child and partner so, as a function of society, the family (nucleus family) and marriage, allow us the most stable and effective manor of raising children. It is functional because it not only allows us to achieve natures intended goal but also to do it in a manner that can still allow us to help society, we can allow our children in schools whilst we continue to work throughout the day (continued production). If this style of reproduction is lost (and it seems to be going that way. More single parent children with each new generation) then I don't know how society can withstand the backlash of negativity it will bring with it.

@amandavennetti7882 10 лет назад

Very helpful! I also watched your videos on symbolic interactionism and conflict theory.

@seb02009 10 лет назад

There are even more topics here (www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/mcat/society-and-culture) if you're curious.

@amandavennetti7882 10 лет назад

Sydney Brown Thank you

@SuGARFReeBROther 5 лет назад

There is a surprisingly Zen like aspect to functionalism. Though it sometimes may support different social agendas, I like how it describes society as fluid object only morphing to regain a balanced state, meaning the molecules within the fluid must adapt to fit into its shape. The only conflict arises when you look at a micro level and see the effect of change on a single individual. But this is where psychology steps in and the model changes from society to the human brain or self.

@MrSmith7811 7 лет назад

Just want to make a note about social currents, which is the key to understanding Durkheim's methods.... Durkheim said we can't study social currents directly, and that's why he said it is best to study them in terms of the rates they produce. The rates themselves are social facts. For example, before, during and after a big sporting event, like the Super Bowl, it will produce a social current. But you can't measure that atmosphere directly. So instead, you measure the volume of the crowd, or you count things, like the number of cars that get vandalized after the game, or the number of people who made love afterwards. It's the same for suicide. Donald Trump got elected and created a massive shared experience, or social current. Calls to suicide hotlines surged. Those calls to the hotlines would be a social fact. The suicides on that day would be a social fact. The current is the shared social feeling that lead to the rise in phone calls or suicides. This criticism of this method is it doesn't capture the full extent of the social current. Today it is believed that it is best to combine it with qualitative methods, such as in depth interview and ethnography.

Would probably be a good idea to add which type of functionalism you are talking about in the title. There are many theories of functionalism outside of sociology.
