Functionalism
Functionalism is a theoretical perspective in sociology and psychology that views society as a complex system made up of interrelated parts that work together to maintain stability and order. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how different social institutions and practices contribute to the overall functioning and harmony of society. This perspective focuses on the functions of various aspects of society, such as norms, values, and social structures, in maintaining social cohesion and addressing the needs of individuals within the society.
