Long's Theory

Long’s Theory, also known as the Functionalist Theory, emphasizes that society is made up of interconnected parts, each serving a specific role to maintain stability and order. Think of society like a biological organism where different structures—like families, schools, and government—work together to ensure smooth functioning. Changes or disruptions in one part can affect the whole system. This perspective highlights the importance of social institutions and their roles in promoting cohesion, stability, and the overall well-being of society.
