functionalist
Functionalist generally refers to a perspective or theory that views society or any complex structure as largely composed of interconnected parts, each having a specific function or role to contribute to the stability and harmony of the overall system. This view emphasizes the interdependence of the system's parts and the way in which its functions maintain the system or society. The concept has been applied in various fields such as sociology, psychology, architecture, and various other disciplines. In psychology, for example, functionalist theory explores mental processes and behavior in terms of their role in helping individuals adapt to their environment. Meanwhile, in architecture, the functionalist approach emphasizes the purpose of the building and the function it serves, over its aesthetic appeal.
