Structural Functionalism

Here are the key points in the debate: For increasing the minimum wage: - The current minimum wage is not enough for workers to support themselves and their families. Many workers still live in poverty even after working full time. Increasing the minimum wage could help reduce poverty. - Raising the minimum wage would boost consumer spending as low-income workers have more money to spend. This could stimulate the overall economy. - Other countries have increased their minimum wages without significant negative impact on employment. A moderate increase in the Philippines may not hurt businesses or cause many job losses. Against increasing the minimum wage: - Increasing the minimum wage will raise costs for businesses. Some companies may cut jobs, raise

STRUCTURAL
FUNCTIONALISM
STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM, or simply functionalism, is
essentially a sociological theory that revolves around the notion that
a society is composed of a system of interconnected parts that have
their own particular functions.
Functionalism views a societal living shaped and guided by social
structures, or the patterns of social relationships between groups or
individuals.
SOCIAL STRUCTURES
Formed among groups or institutions are referred to as
MACROSTRUCTURES, which include religion, education,
tradition, and culture. On the hand, social structures established
among individuals or within groups that a result in individual
interactions are called MICROSTRUCTURES.
 Example – Education, as an example of macrostructure, shapes the minds of students
to become productive members of society.
 Example – Addressing elders with respect, as an example of microstructure, patterns
and shapes the younger generation to promote social values.
KEY CONCEPTS IN
STRUCTURAL
FUNCTIONALISM
A manifest function is the predicted, intended, and knowable effect
of a social structure.
 e.g. people go to churches in order to pray and hear mass.

A latent function is the unintended outcome of social structure.


 e.g. So, if the manifest function of going to church is to pray and hear mass, its latent
function is to gather people together in one place to reinforce the sense of
community.

Note: Manifest and Latent Function bring about positive effects or outcomes.
A manifest dysfunction is the predicted, expected, and knowable
disruptions of a social structure.
 e.g. A large gathering of people such as concerts and other events disrupts traffic flow within the vicinity of the
event, even though it was not intended to do so.

A latent dysfunction is the unpredicted and unexpected disruptions of


social structures.
 e.g. There are customers who usually take pictures of their food in social media. But since
these customers are not only the ones doing so, the average time spent by customers in
their tables increased. The latent dysfunction in this example is that the next customers will
likewise have an increased waiting period.
Note: Manifest and Latent Dysfunctions bring about negative effects of outcomes.

KARL MARX
Born: 5 May 1818, Trier, Germany
Died: 14 March 1883, 
London, United Kingdom
best known not as a philosopher but as
a revolutionary, whose works inspired
the foundation of many communist
regimes in the twentieth century.
David Émile Durkheim was a French sociologist. He formally
established the academic discipline of sociology and—with W. E. B.
Du Bois, Karl Marx and Max Weber—is commonly cited as the
principal architect of modern social science.
MARXISM

Marxism is a sociological, political, and economic


philosophy that is based on the ideas and theories of
Karl Marx (1818 – 1883).
To understand the ideas of Marx, the historical
backdrop from which he lived – during the Industrial
Revolution of the 19th century (must be considered).
 Before the advent of the Industrial Revolution, the primary
source of living in many European countries was farming or
agriculture-related work. However, with the rise of factories,
such character changed, which caused farmers to abandon
their fields to become factory workers.
The introduction of machines enabled rapid
advancements in the production process,
which allowed faster market trade and
consumption of goods.
This development provided factory owners
with profits that enabled them to invest in
factory expansion.
This cycle of production and consumption
continued to create an economy, which become
known as industrial capitalism.
INDUSTRIAL CAPITALISM
Created two classes in society (Marx)
 Bourgeoisie – the factory owners or capitalist
 Proletariat – the industrial workers laborers

The Bourgeoisie controls the means of production (factories,


machines, and land), while the proletariat, who does not have access
to such means of production, exchanges labor for wages.
For Marx, this relationship between the bourgeoisie and the
proletariat is a form of exploitation because the former gains profit
from the labor and services of the latter.
KEY CONCEPTS IN
MARXISM
Social Inequality
 In a capitalist society, oppression and exploitation are among the social inequalities that exist
between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
 Marx argued that the profit from goods should be equally divided among the laborers since
they are the ones who work to produce such goods. But in reality, they are given low wages
and often asked to work in terrible working conditions. (Social Injustice)
CLASS CONFLICT

Class conflict or class struggle arises from the oppression of the proletariat
by the bourgeoisie.
 With his works written for the proletariat, Marx believed that laborers would soon realize such
oppression and ultimately break free from the imposed false consciousness.
 Marx advocated for a revolutionary consciousness to fight back against the capitalist
oppressors.
 At the end of the revolution, a communist society will be established, which for Marx, will
make citizens happy as they will be treated equally.
A communist society is characterized by a classless society having common
ownership of property and resources (means of production).

PHILOSOPHER
Karl Marx was a German philosopher,
economist, historian, sociologist, political

Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (1820 - 1895) were
German philosophers and political scientists, who
are regarded as the fathers of Marxist theory. Marx
and Engels were friends, and they collaborated
many times. Their most notable work together was
Communist Manifesto, published in 1848.

The Communist Manifesto provided a


sociological perspective in the
understanding of history.
For Marx and Engels, history is
determined by the history of class
struggles and conflicts between the
oppressor (bourgeoisie) and the
oppressed (proletariat).
The Communist Manifesto points to an organized
proletariat class who would revolt against the bourgeoisie
by amassing political power. This is the aim of communism
argued for by Marx and Engels – that workers unite to
overthrow the bourgeoisie supremacy and ultimately allow
the proletariat freedom from subjugation.
Note: thus communism would prevent oppressors from
exploiting the working class in order to gain profit.
