Assignment:

The functionalist contends that every social institution has intended purposes (manifest functions) and unintended purposes (latent functions). For example, learning academic content is a manifest function of school, but learning to socialize with peers is a latent function. For this activity, use a sociological lens to examine the manifest and latent functions of a particular situation you or someone you know experienced. Consider contexts like team sports, religious communities, or other clubs.

In a 2- to 5-minute video, describe and analyze three or four manifest and latent functions of participating in the situation. Be sure to (1) use and explain one or two major concepts and theories, and appropriate terminology from the text, (2) describe the individual effects of each function, and (3) analyze each function's social effects, such as its role in socialization and social control. You must include visual aids (e.g., you can display a diagram as you give your explanation), but you are not required to appear in the video.
