Lesson
1
The Structural Functionalism
The structural-functional approach is a perspective in sociology that sees
society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity
and stability. It asserts that our lives are guided by social structures, which are
relatively stable patterns of social behavior. Social structures give shape to our
lives - for example, in families, the community, and through religious
organizations. And certain rituals, such as a handshake or complex religious
ceremonies, give structure to our everyday lives. Each social structure has
social functions, or consequences for the operation of society as a whole.
Education, for example, has several important functions in a society, such as
socialization, learning. Functionalism also states that society is like an
organism, made up of different parts that work together. Thus, one of the key
ideas in Structural Functionalism is that society is made-up of groups or
institutions, which are cohesive, share common norms, and have a definitive
culture.

What is It
What is Structural Functionalism? According to (Structural Functionalism:
Definition, Theory & Examples, 2016)
Take a step back and think of your hometown's government. Unless you
live in a very small town, chances are that the local doctor is also the local
policeman. In fact, there are plenty of municipal services that make up the
small town. Each part of the government contributes something different. After
all, you wouldn't want the local dogcatcher to be too busy fighting fires to keep
stray dogs out of your garbage.
Several decades ago, some sociologists thought that all of societies
interact like this; where each part of society had a specific task. They called this
framework structural functionalism. While the ideas of structural functionalism
have fallen out of favor, let's take a bit to try and understand what they were
saying.
Structural Functionalism in Theory
First, let's look at the history of structural functionalism. During the 19th
century, the world was becoming a much smaller space. Trains and steamships
had linked the world in a way no one had thought possible. While many
Europeans were starting to think of themselves as superior, due to their more
'advanced' culture, a French philosopher, named Emile Durkheim, noticed this
and started to think that society was made up of building blocks that were
focused towards a common goal. If people stopped agreeing on those common
goals, then society would disintegrate. However, as long as most people agreed,
society would be fine.
6
www.shsph.blogspot.com
In structural functionalism, individual institutions work together in
service of the whole.
For example, this image of a circular flow of money through an economy
demonstrates how something that almost everyone can agree on, education, is
made into a goal. Of course, this only worked as long as everyone was focused.
If one group disagreed on where society is going, then the whole thing falls apart.
These social bonds are very important.
However, structural functionalism had a serious problem. It was too far
removed from actual society. It assumed that these blocks were homogenous,
all wanting the same thing. Also, it thought that all motivation was a zero-sum
game, meaning that there had to be winners and losers. After all, if you increase
funding for the police department, that money had to come from somewhere,
right?
This all neglects that groups can have different starting points and
different motivations. For a two-person dog catching team, an extra $50,000 in
funding is a big deal, while for a forty-person police department, it is relatively
minor. To put that into real world terms, structural functionalism assumed that
all of society's groups are always equal, which is simply not the case. Just turn
on the news or watch any political debate and you'll see that many groups of
society are anything but equal.
The method of functionalism was based on fieldwork and direct
observations of societies. In the structural functionalism approach, society, its
institutions and roles, was the appropriate thing to study. Cultural traits
supported or helped to preserve social structures.
Functionalism emphasizes the importance of the economy for any society,
and the income and self-fulfilment that work often provides. Conflict theory
highlights the control of the economy by the economic elite, the alienation of
work, and various problems in the workplace.
The structural-functional approach is based on the view that
a political system is made up of several key components, including interest
groups, political parties and branches of government.
The structural-functional approach is derived from earlier uses of
functionalism and systems models in anthropology, sociology, biology, and
political science.
Structural functionalism became popular around 1960 when it became
clear that ways of studying U.S. and European politics were not useful in
studying newly independent countries, and that a new approach was needed.
7
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Structural-functionalism assumes that a bounded (nation-state) system exists,
and studies structures in terms of their function(s) within the system.
For structural functionalists the question to be answered is what does a
structure (guerrilla movement, political party, election, etc.) do within the
political system (of country x)? The goal is to find out what something actually
does in a political system, as opposed to what it is supposed to do.
Thus, structural functionalists would not waste time studying
constitutions in Third World countries if they found that the constitutions
[structures] had little impact on political reality.
Almond claimed that certain political functions existed in all political
systems. On the input side he listed these functions as: political socialization,
political interest articulation, political interest aggregation, and political
communication. Listed as outputs were rule-making, rule implementation, and
rule adjudication.
Other basic functions of all political systems included the conversion
process, basic pattern maintenance, and various capabilities (distributive,
symbolic, etc.). Structural functionalists argued that all political systems,
including Third World systems, could most fruitfully be studied and compared
on the basis of how differing structures performed these functions in the
various political system.
Structural functionalism is based on a systems model. Conceptually, the
political process can be depicted as follows:
8
www.shsph.blogspot.com
For analytical purposes the political system is considered to be the
nation-state, and the environment is composed of the interactions of economic,
social, and political variables and events, both domestic and external.
The idea is that there are a number of actors in the national political
system (political parties, bureaucracies, the military, etc.) and that the actions
of all these actors affect each other as well as the system.
The political analyst must determine the importance of these actors in a
particular political system. This is done by analyzing the functions performed by
the various actors. Any changes in the system also affect all the actors. The
feedback mechanisms allow for constantly changing inputs, as actors react to
outputs.
Structural functionalists, like systems analysts, have a bias toward
systemic equilibrium, (i.e. toward stability). Such a bias tends to make this
approach conservative, as stability, or evolutionary change, is preferred [and
more easily analyzed], to radical, or revolutionary change.
A problem which arises with this system-based model is that the nationstate's boundaries are often permeable in the real world, rather than being the
neatly bounded nation-state conceptualized by structural functionalists.
In other words, in the real world it is usually difficult to state exactly
what the boundaries are, leading to some conceptual difficulties.
For example, some international actors are only intermittent, such as the
U.S. when it intervenes directly in Haitian or Panamanian politics. Should U.S.
military forces be considered a part of the Panamanian or Haitian political
systems?
The parts of society that Spencer referred to were the social institutions,
or patterns of beliefs and behaviors focused on meeting social needs, such as
government, education, family, healthcare, religion, and the economy.
Table 1: Some Social Behaviors According to Quexbook, 2018
Behaviors
Concepts
Ritualism
Occurs when an individual continues to do things as
prescribed by society but forfeits the achievement of
the goals.
Retreatism
Involves the rejection of both the culturally prescribed
goals as well as the conventional means of attaining
them.
Conformity
Occurs when an individual has the means and desire
to achieve the cultural goals socialised into him

Rebellion
A combination of the rejection of societal goals and
means and a substitution of other goals and means.
Talcott Parson (1902 - 1979) was an American sociologist and
functionalist who attempted to develop and perfect a general analytic model
suitable for analyzing all types of collectivities. He was concerned with how
elements of society were functional for a society as well as social order. His five
pattern variables are considered as five dichotomies to draw out the contrasting
values to which individuals orient themselves in social interactions.
Table 2: Talcott Parson’s Five Pattern Variables of Role-definition
According to Quexbook, 2018
Pattern Variables of
Role-definition
Concepts
1st - Affectivity vs.
Affective
Neutrality
Dilemma: deciding whether to express one’s own
orientation in terms of immediate gratification
(affectivity)or whether to renounce immediate
gratification in favor of moral interests (affective
neutrality).
2nd - Self orientation
vs. Collectivity
orientation
One’s role orientation is either in terms of his/her
own interests or in terms of the interests of a
group.
3
rd
4
th
- Universalism vs.
Particularism
Dilemma: There is an issue on whether to react to
a certain social interaction “on the basis of a
general norm” or reacting “on the basis of
someone’s particular relationship to you”.
- Achievement vs.
Acription
Achievement- orientation places an importance
on the performance and emphasizes individual
achievement while Ascription-orientation refers
to the innate qualities of individuals.
5th - Specificity vs.
Diffuseness
This refers to the nature of social contracts and
how extensive or how narrow are the obligations in
any interaction. Specificity, is when the definition
of a role is in specific terms while diffuseness is
when role obligations are extended outside the
defined role - expectations.
General Conceptual Diagram Durk et al. (2007)
The diagram below is a general conceptual diagram of Structural functionalism.
It shows that all of the different organizations and institutions in society are
interdependent. When one institution in society changes, other institutions
10
www.shsph.blogspot.com
accommodate that change by changing as well, though the ultimate effect is to
slow overall change.
Specific Conceptual Diagram Durk et al. (2007)
Below is a chart depicting how deviance is functional for society and how
society responds to deviance. A "deviant" individual commits an act that is
deemed by the rest of society as criminal, because it leads to public outrage and
punishments. Because a large portion of society respond to the action as
though it is deviant, this draws a boundary between what is and is not deviant.
Thus, deviance actually helps to indicate what is not deviant, or, the function of
labelling behaviors or ideas as deviance is to insure that most people do not
engage in those behaviors.
