Functional analysis is the idea that a society is a whole unit like a living organism where all of the parts work together. If you look at the small society of the warehouse that I work in (pictured) you can see that the different shifts as well as people with different jobs work together in what is known as a normal state. For instance; on my shift we unload trucks and put the product on the shelves so that the other shift can take the product back off of the shelf and ship it out to other parts of the country. Looking even deeper, if someone on the same shift for instance the person unloading the truck can't get the product off of the truck fast enough then the person putting it away won't be able to do his job. This is known as an abnormal or pathological state.
