According to the textbook, this is a major part of functionalism.

Explanation:

Sociologists are person who involved in study of sociology. The sociologists focuses on general social patterns in the behavior of particular people.

Auguste Comte and Émile Durkheim worked on the "theory of functionalism". They compared societies to the workings of a human body. This theory states that the mental state of a person is related by their functional role.
