Step-by-step explanation:

Structural Functionalism is an area of ​​study of the social sciences that seeks to understand society as a system whose integral parts are essential for the development of society, solidarity and the balance of society as a whole.

Analyzing the graffiti above we can see a doctor with a superman mask and in her uniform the fake inscription. So we can relate this graffitti to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic that the world currently lives and the role of doctors who are listed as superheroes and essential to help society face this devastating health crisis, but also the fake inscription on their uniform and their eyes looking up as if looking for hope, shows us that despite the structural functionalism that relates to doctors as rescue agents in today's society, there is a criticism that health professionals cannot be related to superheroes at a time when the set of society's agents must be integrated in order to overcome the pandemic, such as political aid, inputs, social awareness, etc.
