Manifest and Latent function by Robert K Merton || Structural Functionalism

Manifest and Latent function by Robert K Merton
Robert Merton's theory of manifest and latent functions is a significant concept in sociology. Let's break it down:
1. Manifest Functions: These are the intended and visible functions of social institutions or practices. Manifest functions are the explicit reasons why certain social structures exist. For example, the manifest function of schools is to educate students and provide knowledge and skills for the future.
2. Latent Functions: In contrast, latent functions are the unintended and often hidden functions of social institutions or practices. These functions are not immediately recognized or acknowledged but still play a role in society. For instance, a latent function of schools could be socializing students, teaching them social norms and values beyond the academic curriculum.
Merton's theory helps us understand that social structures and institutions can have both intended (manifest) and unintended (latent) consequences. It highlights the complexity of society and how various functions, whether visible or hidden, contribute to its overall functioning.
