society functioning. They viewed institutions in charge of different responsibilities in order to keep society living and functioning. Basically, each institution or “organ” of society had a specific task and responsibility (e.g., education, judicial, military, corporate). Functionalism in anthropology divided in two section one linked to Bronislaw Malinowski and one associated with A.R Radcliffe-Brown. Malinowski’s psychological functionalism discussed how institutions were in charge of meeting the psychological and physical needs of the people. Radcliffe-Brown’s structural functionalism aimed at understanding how institutions maintained cohesion and equilibrium of a given society (McGee 2003). A change in one segment of society resulting

Education is an extremely important area of culture and society. Education ensures that skills and information that are important to that society are passed down. In terms of analyzation of the type of organ education would fill in society one could say the brain, since education institutions are in charge of passing information to the youngest members of society. Education provides the tools necessary to be a productive citizen in the complex whole that is society. Thus ensures a cohesive unit and equilibrium because as old members abandoned the system, there are new younger members that take their place. Similarly, technology (computers and tablets) can now be considered an organ of educational institutions as they keep them …show more content…
The research that will discuss below display some problems associated with education and technology. Many issues arise because of the use of technology in education. People generally believed that technology supplements education, but research demonstrates that individuals use technology as a distraction to multitask and engage in other tasks. So it is important to solve the issues within education and technology because it benefits the whole social system once it is processing at full capacity but damages the system if our education is lacking. This theoretical framework will assist in answering what role exactly technology plays in education and how important these devices are within society to keep it thriving. The next section will analyze the literature review of computers in
