-Structural Functionalism
Guide Questions
*What keeps societies together?
*What causes social dysfunction?
*How important are the social functions of the social structure to the maintenance and stability of
societies?
Key Concepts
* social structure * social dysfunction *latency
* manifest functions * social functions
* adaptation * latent functions
* integration * goal attainment
-Structural Functionalism is a sociological theory that explains why society functions the way it does by
emphasizing on the relationships between the various social institutions that make up society (e.g., government, law,
education, religion, etc).
-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.
-Each social structure has social functions, or Detailed Description 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.
Talcott Parsons he developed structural functionalism in the 1930’s under the influence of the works of Max Weber
and Emile Durkheim (McMahon 2015). It emphasizes social structure, “any relatively stable pattern of social
behavior”and social functions, “the consequences of any social pattern for the operation of society as a whole”
(Macionis 2007,15).
Eg,of Social Structure are family, government, religion, education, and economy.
-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.
Robert Merton (1910-2003) expanded the concept of social function by arguing that any social structure may have
many functions. He distinguished between manifest functions, “the recognized and intended consequences of any
social pattern.” (Macionis 2007,15).
--In his classification of social functions into manifest or latent, Merton recognized that the effects or outcomes of
social structure are not all necessarily good and not necessarily good for everyone. He coined the term social
dysfunction.
Social dysfunction - is “any social pattern that may disrupt the operation of society” (Macionis 2007, 16).
What causes social dysfunction? --The lack of consensus among peoples in a given polity or society about what is
helpful or harmful to society is a key feature of every society or polity.
In capitalist order, for example, high profits for factory owners can be seen as dysfunctional for factory workers as
they receive low wages. (Macionis 2007, 16)
To maintain the equilibrium of the system, Parsons identified four imperatives for societies to survive, which called
AGIL model, the acronym stands for the first letter of each of these four imperatives. These are:
*Adaptaion: acquiring and mobilizing sufficient resources so that the system can siurvive.
*Goal Attainment: setting and implementing goals
*Integration: maintaining solidarity or coordination among the subunits of the system
*Lantency: creating, preserving, and transmitting the system’s distinctive culture and values(McMahon 2015
Emphasis added).
Specific Conceptual Diagram On the right side 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 labeling behaviors or ideas as deviance is to insure that most people
do not engage in those behaviors.
-Marxism
Guide questions
*What are the key concepts relevant to marxism? Is marxism still relevant in today’s world?
*What is the difference between classical Marxism and modern Marxism?
Key Concepts
*class struggle/ conflict *alienation *structuralism
*capitalists *class consciousness *superstructuralism
*economism *socialism *modern Marxism
*materialism *social conflict *false consciousness
*infrastructure *proletarians *capitalism
*classical Marxism *determinism *communism
Marxism owes its name and origins to Karl Marx (1818-1883), a German philosopher, historian, and economist.
Macionis (2007) provides a very interesting profile of Marx of how he revolutionized both the thinking and
theorizing about the state and society, and whose influence remains to this day.
-This class struggle that is commonly expressed as the revolt of a society's productive forces against its relations of
production, results in a period of short-term crises as the bourgeoisie struggle to manage the intensifying alienation of
labor experienced by the proletariat, albeit with varying degrees of class consciousness.
In periods of deep crisis, the resistance of the oppressed can culminate in a proletarian revolution which, if
victorious, leads to the establishment of socialism—a socioeconomic system based on social ownership of the means
of production, distribution based on one's contribution and production organized directly for use.
As the productive forces continued to advance, Marx hypothesized that socialism would ultimately be transformed
into a communist society: a classless, stateless, humane society based on common ownership and the underlying
principle: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".
Class consciousness is different from false consciousness , “ explanations of social problems as the shortcomings of
individuals rather than as the flaws of society.’’
To Marx, “it is not ‘people’ who make society so unequal, it is the system of capitalist production … and (F)alse
consciousness … hurts people by hiding the real cause of their problems’’ (Macionis 2007 101).
Marx also critiqued capitalism for producing alienation, “the experience of isolation and misery resulting from
powerlessness’’ (Macionis 2007, 102).
1. Alienation from the act of working: Capitalism denies workers a say in what they make how they make it.Work is
a constant repetition of routine tasks. Workers are replaced by and/or turned into machines.
2. Alienation from the products of work: Workers’ product belongs to the capitalists who sell it for profit. As workers
invest more of themselves in their work, the more they lose.
3. Alienation from other workers: Industrial capitalism creates competition in work that prevents bonds of community
to develop, and hence, sets each worker apart from everyone else.
4. Alienation from human potential: Capitalism prevents workers to develop their best qualities as human beings.
Instead of fulfilling one’s self in work , one denies one’s physical and mental energies, one gets physically exhausted
and mentally debased (Macionis 2007, 103).
*All these ideas discussed above became the foundation of what was referred to as “Classical Marxism”.
Classical Marxism, that version of Marxism that was dominant for the first 100 years after Marx’s death, consists of
four related ‘isms’ , namely , economism, determinism, materialism, and structuralism.
*In a nutshell, modern Marxism “rejects economism; rejects determinancy, emphasizing contingency; rejects
materialism, acknowledging an independent role of ideas; rejects structuralism, accepting a key role for agents; no
longer privileges class, acknowledging the crucial role of other bases of structured inequality; and, to an extent,
privileges politics(Marsh 2002, 161).
Three broad explanations account for the near demise of classical Marxism and consequently , the rise of modern
Marxism.
1. “Marxists have responded to theoretical critiques from both inside and outside the Marxist tradition,”
2. “Such an economistic formulation has proved unable to explain economic, social and political
developments’, and
3. “Economic, social, and political changes in the world have stimulated new theoretical development”
(Marsh 2002, 156)
*Developments across the globe including the rise of neoliberal discourse and the increasing internationalization of
capital, investment, trade, and labor have produced abundant evidence that unfettered capitalism causes more
problems than it solves.
-Symbolic Interactionism
Guide Questions:
*How does one make sense of his or her actions, interactions, and experiences?
*How does social experience develop one’s self?
*What is the importance of communication in human actions and interactions?
Key Concepts
*generalized other *meaning
*positivist-humanist debate *self
*objectivist-subjetivist dichotomy *socialization
The symbolic interaction perspective, also called symbolic interactionism, is a major framework of the
sociological theory. This perspective relies on the symbolic meaning that people develop and build upon in the
process of social interaction. Although symbolic interactionism traces its origins to Max Weber's assertion that
individuals act according to their interpretation of the meaning of their world, the American philosopher George
Herbert Mead introduced this perspective to American sociology in the 1920s.
Symbolic interaction theory analyzes society by addressing the subjective meanings that people impose on
objects, events, and behaviors. Subjective meanings are given primacy because it is believed that people behave based
on what they believe and not just on what is objectively true. Thus, society is thought to be socially constructed
through human interpretation. People interpret one another’s behavior, and it is these interpretations that form the
social bond. These interpretations are called the “definition of the situation.”
For example, why would young people smoke cigarettes even when all objective medical evidence points to the
dangers of doing so? The answer is in the definition of the situation that people create. Studies find that teenagers are
well informed about the risks of tobacco, but they also think that smoking is cool, that they will be safe from harm,
and that smoking projects a positive image to their peers. So, the symbolic meaning of smoking overrides the facts
regarding smoking and risk.
-Psychoanalysis
Guide Questions:
*What is the role of interpretation in social scientific inquiry?
*Is psychoanalysis scientfic? What conditions or shapes human behavior? What is the relationship between
personality ad behavior?
Key Concepts
*id *ego
*superego *libido
*conscience *ego ideal
*consciousness *pleasure principle
*reality principle
Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy uses analytic techniques to help release
repressed thoughts, experiences, and emotions, but it is a modified, generally briefer, and less intense version of early
Freudian analysis. The therapist-patient relationship is central to the healing process, as are the original theories of
attachment, which focus on the quality of bonding between infant and parent; transference, the transfer of earlier
emotions and needs to people and events in the present time; and resistance, the stage of therapy when the client
becomes overwhelmed by the release of painful, repressed feelings and tries to avoid dealing with them. Eventually,
as patients become more comfortable and less resistant to facing their issues and are able to understand their own
motives and behavior, healing can begin.
1. The id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. It consists of all the inherited (i.e.,
biological) components of personality present at birth, including the sex (life) instinct – Eros (which contains the
libido), and the aggressive (death) instinct - Thanatos. The id is the impulsive (and unconscious) part of our psyche
which responds directly and immediately to basic urges, needs, and desires. The personality of the newborn child is
all id and only later does it develop an ego and super-ego.
2. The ego develops to mediate between the unrealistic id and the external real world. It is the decision-
making component of personality. Ideally, the ego works by reason, whereas the id is chaotic and unreasonable. The
ego operates according to the reality principle, working out realistic ways of satisfying the id’s demands, often
compromising or postponing satisfaction to avoid negative consequences of society. The ego considers social realities
and norms, etiquette and rules in deciding how to behave.
-Like the id, the ego seeks pleasure (i.e., tension reduction) and avoids pain, but unlike the id, the ego
is concerned with devising a realistic strategy to obtain pleasure. The ego has no concept of right or wrong;
something is good simply if it achieves its end of satisfying without causing harm to itself or the id.
3. The superego incorporates the values and morals of society which are learned from one's parents and
others. It develops around the age of 3 – 5 years during the phallic stage of psychosexual development.The superego's
function is to control the id's impulses, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression. It also has
the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for
perfection.
The superego consists of two systems: The conscience and the ideal self. The conscience can punish the ego
through causing feelings of guilt. For example, if the ego gives in to the id's demands, the superego may make the
person feel bad through guilt.
The ideal self (or ego-ideal) is an imaginary picture of how you ought to be, and represents career aspirations, how to
treat other people, and how to behave as a member of society.
*The three levels of consciousness are conscious mind, the preconscious mind, and the unconscious mind. To Freud,
mind is like an iceberg; the conscious mind is merely the tip visible above surface, whereas the bulk of the important
workings of the mind lurks mysteriously beneath the surface. Just below the surface is what Freud called the
preconscious mind. It consists of memories that are not presently concious but can easily be brought into
consciousness. The contents of the preconscious were once conscious and can be returned to consciousness when
needed.
