[00:04.02]Situation 19:<BR>[00:05.65]Sociology Class<BR>[00:07.53](Mike arrives early and takes a seat near the front.)<BR>[00:10.37]Hey,Mike,you're never early,what's up?<BR>[00:13.84]I know,but I was having a terrible discussion on politics<BR>[00:16.73]with my roommate Charles and I just had<BR>[00:18.81]to run away.I just can't discuss politics in the morming.<BR>[00:23.46]I know what you mean.I hate talking about politics.I can't believe<BR>[00:27.48]Charles would do that.<BR>[00:29.52]Yeah, it's really rude,isn't it? Well,<BR>[00:32.64]that's why I'm early.<BR>[00:34.26](The professor comes in and sits at a table at the front of the room. )<BR>[00:38.35]Good afternoon.Last week we were discussing the theory<BR>[00:41.49]of functionalism.This theory, in brief,<BR>[00:44.42]states that all peopleare in a certain socio-economic position<BR>[00:48.69]for a reason.It further states that each of these<BR>[00:51.84]positions serves a functionand so should naturally be<BR>[00:55.46]preserved.Although such a theory seems valid at first<BR>[00:59.12]glance,there are many problems with it.Today,I would like to<BR>[01:03.16]discuss some of the weak points of the theory of functionalism.<BR>[01:07.61]One of these,for example,is that it does not<BR>[01:10.01]explain the great difference in opportunities given to <BR>[01:12.95]the richas opposed to the poor,Rather,it<BR>[01:16.58]assumes that the poor have no money because this is their<BR>[01:19.99]natural condition.Can anyone think of any more shortcomings<BR>[01:24.13]of functionalism?<BR>[01:26.39]Well,it's not only money that they don't have.If they don't have<BR>[01:29.98]money,that also limits their chances for<BR>[01:33.07]education,medical care,and other important services.<BR>[01:37.29]Excellent point.<BR>[01:38.78]Would anyone like to add something?<BR>[01:41.06]I think it is all the fault of dishonest politicians.<BR>[01:45.28]( Looking confused )Interesting.I'm not sure I unders-<BR>[01:49.00]tand what you mean,but yes,many politicians are corrupt.<BR>[01:53.40]They sure are.Like my roommate's dad....<BR>
