1. Social order - it's achieveable by having shared culture and gives individuals rules to follow but everyone has to agree on them called Value Consensus ( it integrates individuals into society and helps them meet societies needs through sociolisation and social control)
2. Parts of the social system - Actions governed by norms and values come in clusters called status role come in clusters called institutions come in groups called sub-systems which make up society.
3. Societies needs - Adaption (to meet people's need - economic sub-system), Goal Attainment ( set goals and helps individuals resources to meet them - political sub-system), Integration (parts of society need to be integrated to meet goals - religion, media and education sub- system) and Latency (processes that maintain society long-term - kinship sub-system)
4. Types of society - Tradtional (ascribed status, relationships = broad, immediate gratification and collective orientation) and modern (achieved status, relationships = limited and deferred gratification ndividualistic orientation)
5.Social Change - change is slow, soceities go from simple-complex. In trad. society instituion has lots of functions but now we've lost these functions = called structual differentiation
