Answer to Question 1

Functionalism focuses on the large-scale structures of society, such as social classes and institutions. Functionalists believe that society is a complex system designed to ensure societal survival. A well-functioning society is characterized by social harmony, integrated social structures, and shared belief systems.

Answer to Question 2

The definition of race varies from one society to another, depending on how the people of that society feel about the importance of certain physical differences among human beings. The specific physical characteristics assigned to people are relatively meaningless. There is no scientifically valid typology of human races.
