SOCIOLOGY S PAPER III - III NOTE : This paper is of two hundred (200) marks containing four (4) sections. Candidates are required to attempt the questions contained in these sections according to the detailed instructions given therein. (200) (4) S D 0507 2 SECTION - I U I Note : This section contains five (5) questions based on the following paragraph. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30) words and each carries five (5) marks. (5x5=25 marks) (5) (30) (5) (5x5=25 ) Spencer is the founder of functional sociology. True, Auguste Comte had employed organismic analogies where the function of a part for the larger body social was to be discovered, but it was Spencer who converted Comte s vague analogies into a rigorous sociology. Thus, as Spencer sought to develop the laws of sociology, he couched them in an evolutionary and functionalist framework. The evolutionary portion of this framework emphasized aggregation, growth, differentiation, integration, and disintegration, whereas the functionalist portion stressed the need to examine differentiating social structures in terms of their consequences for meeting the fundamental needs of the social whole. The functional part of Spencer s scheme begins with his famous organismic analogy, where he compares the properties of organisms to super-organic structures involving relations among organisms. Both organic and super-organic reveal, Spencer (1874-96, volume 1, p. 448) argued, a parallelism of principle in the arrangement of components along several lines : both differentiate structure as they grow, both differentiate functions to sustain the life of the whole, both achieve integration through mutual dependence of parts, both are composed of more elementary forms of life, and both can live on for a while after destruction of the systemic whole. If this were all Spencer had to offer sociology, there would be little reason to consider his work important; yet, unfortunately, it is this organismic analogy that still guides contemporary understandings of Spencer. Far more important than this simple analogy are the functional and D 0507 3 P.T.O. evolutionary ideas developed by Spencer. The functional approach pursued by Spencer was analytical: what basic needs or imperatives must all super-organic systems meet if they are to remain viable in their environments ? Although Spencer s vocabulary varies somewhat, the substance of his answer to this question remained constant : all systems must regulate their relations with the environment in terms of protection from enemies and from the vicissitudes of the nature; all systems must secure and transform resources necessary to sustain life forms; all systems must reproduce their constituent members and the structural forms and symbols necessary to sustain individuals and the structural units of the larger super-organic whole.
