Talcott Parsons was a sociologist who developed the theory of structural functionalism, which views society as a complex system with various interdependent parts that work together to maintain social stability and order.
If we apply this theory to the Philippines, we can see that the country has many different social institutions, such as the government, the family, and the church, that all play important roles in maintaining stability and order. However, there are also many issues in the Philippines, such as poverty, corruption, and political instability, that can threaten this social order.
According to structural functionalism, the solution to these issues would be to strengthen the social institutions that are responsible for maintaining social order. For example, the government could work to reduce corruption and provide more support for the poor, while the church could work to promote social justice and moral values.
However, it is important to note that structural functionalism has been criticized for being too conservative and for not taking into account the ways in which social institutions can perpetuate inequality and oppression. Therefore, any solution to the issues in the Philippines must also take into account the perspectives and needs of marginalized groups, such as the poor and the indigenous peoples, in order to ensure that social order is maintained in a just and equitable way.
