We may talk about our troubles to those persons who can give us direct , but even in this case we ought as much as possible to come to a provisional conclusion before consultation; to be perfectly clear to ourselves within our own limits.

Hale White, a British writer better known as Robert Rutherford, was the author of this fragment.

Rutherford talks about the necessity that we have of express our feelings about the trouble we are going through. But he mentions is not only to talk with another person, but we also need to talk to ourselves and get a personal conclusion; is to be conscious of the situation and find a possible solution and after that, we can share the moment we are living.

With this recomendation, having a personal opinion and then a second one, it will be easier to find the best way to cope with the difficult period we are happening.

manifest functions are the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, while latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended consequences. to analyze the manifest functions of any social institution, we have to study its contribution to the continuation of a group, community, or society.
