What are some of the major readings or must readings to understand functionalism?

Are all social changes bad or dysfunctional in nature?

[pikachuthegayatheist]

But there’s a great criticism in this whole argument, can this actually work? The way everything works in our universe or in the physics is it on a scale of Constant progression, even if you find a way to reverse time you’re still gonna be in there scale of constant progression, this is just the way physics work. What’s that brings in the question how can Durkheim‘s philosophy of functionalism work at all?
