<span>Robert Merton used the term dysfunctions for the harmful consequences of people's actions.

According to Merton, functions (people's actions_ in society can either be functional (positive) or dysfunctional (negative). Here, we are focusing on dysfunctions- harmful consequences of people's actions. Dysfunctions in turn can either be manifest (obvious and expected) or latent (hidden and unintended). A manifest (expected) dysfunction is rowdy behavior at a football game, whereas, a latent (hidden) dysfunction is the effect of urbanization on an endangered bird species.

How simple should society be? Use one of the answers above and explain you reasoning
shtirl [24]

<u>Answer: </u>

The society should be somewhat simple.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • For the society to be inclusive of all the classes ranging from lower to higher, it has to cease to be complicated.
  • A highly complicated society would culminate in utter chaos and the elimination of those who are unable to sustain the complications.
  • These complications might mostly be social or economic in nature.
  • Though the society is already a discipline that is complicated to some extent, it should stay as it is to avoid chaos and imbalance.
