Symbolic Interactionism
Have you ever wondered why certain things have meaning in your life?
Whenever you see an ambulance, you know it means that someone is hurt or
ill. When you see a tree during a hot day, you automatically think of it as a
source of shade. This is because of Symbolic Interactionism.
What is Symbolic Interactionism?
A sociological framework focusing on different meanings people attach
to objects, people and their behavior, and interactions (Vejar, 2015).

Structural Functionalism
Try to observe a car. A car is a vehicle that has different parts. It has
different structures that function – the wheels for it to accelerate, the steering
wheel for changing direction, and so on and so forth. Do you know that our
society is like this? It contains different structures with corresponding
functions in order to satisfy the needs of the society. We will dive deeper and
find out why it is important to have different structures and why each of their
functions contributes to the whole.
What is Structural Functionalism?
The said parts vary but are all related to each other. One part
affects the other and vice versa. Talcott Parsons
This framework was developed by Talcott Parsons which
emphasizes social structure, “any stable pattern of social behavior” and social
functions, “consequences of any social pattern for the operation of the society as a
whole” (Macionis 2007, 15).
Example: Education/School
Manifest Function – provide the youth with skills needed to enable them
to perform their jobs after graduation.
Latent Function – keeping millions of young people from the labor
market, where a significant number of them may not get hired right away
after graduation.
What if something goes wrong or something disrupts the order of the society?
When something goes wrong or a social structure fails to perform a function resulting
to the disorganization of the society, a social dysfunction happens.
Social Dysfunction – any social pattern that may disrupt the operation of the society
(Macionis 2007, 16).
This is caused by the lack of consensus among people in each polity or society about what is
helpful or harmful to society. Different backgrounds or status may lead to differences in
recognition and appreciation of what is functional or not to individuals or groups of people
(Macionis 2007, 16).
Premises of Structural Functionalism:
Institutionalism
Classic Institutionalism
The institutional approach is a subject matter, a method and a theory.
As a subject matter - the study of political institutions is central to the
identity of the discipline of political science (Rhodes 1995).
Public Administration - is the “study of institutional arrangements for the
provision of public services” (Hood 1987, 504 in Rhodes 1995, 52) or the
“study of public bureaucracies” (Rhodes 1979, 7 in Rhodes 1995, 52).
As a method
Classic institutional approach is “descriptive- inductive (specific to general),
formal-legal, and historical-comparative”.
It also systematically describes and analyzes phenomena in the past and
explain present political phenomena with reference to past events.
(Kavanagh 1991,482, in Rhodes 1995, 42).
As a theory - the classical institutional approach makes statements about
causes and consequences of political institutions and espouses the
political value of democracy.
Political institutions express particular choices about how political
relationships ought to be shaped; they are in the nature of continuing
injunctions to members of a society that they should try to conduct
themselves in specific ways when engaged in the pursuit of political
ends.
New Institutionalism
March and Olsen (1984, 734 in Lowndes 2002, 94, and Rhodes 1995,
53) coined the term “new institutionalism” critiquing the classic
institutionalism as having “receded in importance from the position they
held in the earlier theories of political scientists”. This also asserts that
political institutions played a more autonomous role in shaping political
outcome.
Indications Old Institutionalism Neo-Institutionalism
