Answer to Question 1

The functionalist perspective emphasizes how society's institutions provide important functions for the stability and survival of society. As the economic base of society changed from agricultural to industrial, the informal education children received from their parents was not adequate to prepare the children to work in industry. Public education was adopted as the primary means to prepare children for the new demands of industrial labor, to ensure the prosperity of the industrial economy.
