Pass 1 – Explain the Principal Sociological Perspectives In the document I am going to outline and explain the different Sociological Perspectives in relation to Health and Social Care. These include: Functionalism The idea behind the Functionalist approach is that everything within society and our day-to-day lives must function in a certain way to keep the natural order of things intact. A method of understanding how the approach works is by comparing it to the human body; the body’s organs and natural defences all work on an efficient interrelationship basis to keep the body running and to fight against diseases. Society woks in very much the same way, with all parts having specific contributions to make so that they can work together to use methods of social control to make sure that society functions smoothly. One person who played a vital role in the development of Functionalism as a Sociological Approach was Talcott Parsons (1902-1979), a sociologist who saw society as a system made up of interrelated factions contributing to smooth operation and continuity within society itself.
Functionalists view society based on consensus. They believe that education helps to bridge the gap between family and society. They also believe in the theory of meritocracy. Other theories such as Marxism often challenges their theory. Functionalists believe education is a key component in the construction of society, they also believe that it is one of the most important institutions and plays a major role during secondary socialisation.

Durkheim was one of the first sociologists to use the scientific method and statistical techniques in sociological research. Talcott Parson played a major part in the development of functionalism also. He was a sociologist from Harvard University.
