 I support the structural functionalism. Recently, president of the Republic of Korea was impeached. It is a corrective of the administration itself that has failed to function properly as structural functionalism has worked. President Park did not play a proper role as president of Korea. Now that the president has changed, things that did not work properly will function normally. This is the latest example of structural functionalism. Because I participated in impeachment movement. I also feel that I am an organism of Korean society.
