Material Detail

Hello! This 4-minute Introduction to Sociology video explains important key terms belonging to the functionalism theory about how society functions. We explore examples that help us understand manifest functions, latent functions, and latent dysfunctions. We discuss how using these key terms allows us to think critically about social issues and policies, including applications to our own lives 🌍

Reflection Questions 🤔 Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments ✏️ 1. Analyze a social issue using the concepts of manifest functions and latent functions or dysfunctions. 2. Share an example from your own life in which an intention had unintended consequences. 3. Share latent functions and latent dysfunctions associated with higher education.
