Functionalists view certain elements in society as representing the negative consequences that elements have for the stability of the social system. a. manifest functions c. dysfunctional b. latent functions d. functional

The correct answer is "C: Dysfunctional".

Functionalism is the theory that expresses that mental states are characterized by what they do, rather than what they are made of. For example, a mousetrap exists for the sake of getting rid of mice. One tends to visualize a mousetrap as a wooden platform with a coiled metal spring. However, there are different types of traps for mice.

Following this definition, there are elements in society that function against the current operation of a stable society, like crime, for example. Crime goes against the mental state of the property and how certain things belong to people.
