Abstract
In the early decades of the twentieth century, there emerged
a kind of a systematic significance for social life, which is
called functionalism. It contains essential elements of
holistic and organizational theories, but it is recognized as
new because it includes some new perceptions of the
approach in the societies' studies, as well as their basic
characteristics. It occurs first in anthropology, in the form
of generalizations of life in small tribal societies, associated
with field research carried out in small primitive societies
on the remote islands of the Pacific Ocean, and then, during
the Second World War (a little before and after it), and in
sociology - as an endeavor to build theoretical models for
societies as systems, which will then be put into service for
the empirical research of modern earth-moving societies.
Functionalism, both within anthropology and within
sociology, creates its own strategy for the study of society,
in which it is understood as a system of social institutions
and a system of cultural specimens. Institutions grow up as
regulative examples of social action, grounded in the need
of survival. Culture, meanwhile, is the total material,
mental and spiritual apparatus that is instrumentally
associated with institutions. Society is a system of parts -of
institutional-cultural parts that function as mutually
dependent, each of which contributes to the survival of the
system as a whole.
