Introduction to Sociology/Q&A(9/18)/Taerim Kim


Q. What are the manifesto and latent (dys)functions of going to school? 

A. My answer to that question is,  to make or to raise good workers. Living on earth as a human, we can't separate ourselves to the labor. Without money, we can't buy foods, we can't live in a proper house. Therefore to live, we have to work. Unless you come into an estate from your parents. Labor has become taking a huge part of lives. Countries and companies obviously need labors but compared to the old days, these day's job is needed a highly educated person to perform jobs. So I think school performs the role of making good workers that society needs.
