Structural Functionalist Orientation is whereby a society is a system of interrelated parts in a dynamic equilibrium, this means that if one part changes fast it will disrupt the entire system. In order for the society to be strong there has to be social stability and adequate socialisation as well as social integration. There are social institutions within the society that performs important functions to help ensure that there is social stability within the society. Most of social problems tend to weaken the society's stability but they do not reflect the fundamental faults in the society as it is structured. Solutions to problems takes form of gradual social reform instead of sudden rapid and far reaching change. The negative effects of social problems can also serve an important function in a society.
