A group of urban people formed an association to promote literacy in a tribal village. A series of programmes was conducted in the village to achieve this goal. As a result not only did the rate of literacy but awareness about the wealth also developed among the villagers. Which one of the following concepts correctly describes the latter results?
Manifest Function
Latent function
Dysfunction
Secondary Function
- Let’s break it down:
- The group wanted to improve literacy. That was their main goal.
- They ran some programs in the village.
- The outcome? Not only did literacy rates go up, but people also learned more about things like wealth and financial awareness.
- Now, onto the options:
- Manifest Function: This is the intended, obvious purpose—here, improving literacy.
- Latent Function: This is what happens as a side effect. No one planned it, but it still happened. In this case, villagers got more aware about wealth.
- Dysfunction: This means a negative or harmful effect—something that makes things worse, not better.
- Secondary Function: That’s not really a sociological term; it’s not precise in this context.
- The change in wealth awareness was not the main goal, but a helpful side effect.
- Option 2: Latent function is exactly right.
