A set of assumptions of structural functionalism Systems have the property of order and interdependence of parts System tend toward self-maintaining order, or equilibrium The system may be static or involved in an ordered process of change The nature of one part of the system has an impact on the form that the other state of equilibrium of system Systems maintain boundaries with environments Allocation and integration are two fundamental processes necessary for a given state of equilibrium of a system System tend toward self-maintenance involving the maintenance of boundaries and of the relationship of parts to the whole, control of environmental variations, and control of tendencies to change the system.A set of assumptions of Structural functionalism • Systems have the property of order and interdependence of parts • System tend toward self-maintaining order, or equilibrium. • The system may be static or involved in an ordered process of change. • The nature of one part of the system has an impact on the form that the other state of equilibrium of system. • Systems maintain boundaries with environments. • Allocation and integration are two fundamental processes necessary for a given state of equilibrium of a system. • System tend toward self-maintenance involving the maintenance of boundaries and of the relationship of parts to the whole, control of environmental variations, and control of tendencies to change the system
