Functionalists- Family

The concept of family from a functionalist perspective, particularly highlighted by Murdock in 1949, emphasizes its importance in fulfilling essential societal functions. These functions include reproduction, ensuring the continuation of society through new members; sexual stability, providing stable relationships for adults; education, instilling societal norms and values in children; and economic support, catering to the needs of family members.
