Question

Jason is examining his new computer. First, he looks at the entire computer while it’s still in the box. Then he removes the computer and carefully examined the keyboard, the screen, and finally the internal programs. Jason’s actions are most like which type of sociological theoretical approach?

Answer 1

The answer is A structural-functional approach. (APEXS)

Answer 2

The correct answer is structural-functioning approach.

Jason’s actions are most likely to be of the structural-functioning approach. It presents the parts of society as organs or parts that work together for the correct function of the whole.

Structural functionalism is a sociological theory that considers society as a complex system. So that is the similarity with the case of Jason and the way he examines his computer. He goes by parts of the whole structure. First, he looks at the entire computer, then he removes the computer and carefully he examines the keyboard, the screen, and finally the internal programs. He is following a similar structure of the sociological approach of “structural-functioning.”
