Answer to Question 1
Feedback: Functional integration is the unity among different elements of society resulting from a specialized division of labor. In a highly differentiated society such as the United States, with its specialized division of labor, interaction among different segments occurs with some regularity. Interdependence often results because no group is entirely self-sufficient. Written and unwritten rules emerge to govern these relationships, usually leading to cooperation rather than either isolation or conflict and to linkages between different (and potentially conflicting) groups.
Answer to Question 2
Feedback: Sport inhibits the potential for protest and revolution by society's have-nots in three ways: (1) Sport validates the prevailing myths of capitalism, such as anyone can succeed if he or she works hard enough. If a person fails, it is his or her fault and not that of the system. (2) Sport as entertainment diverts attention away from the harsh realities of poverty, unemployment, and dismal life chances. (3) Sport gives false hope to oppressed members of society, because they see sport as a realistic avenue of upward social mobility. The high visibility of wealthy athletes provides proof that athletic ability translates into monetary success. The reality, of course, is that only an extremely small percentage of aspiring athletes ever achieve professional status.
