Durkheim, a functionalist, likened society to a living organism in which all parts of society play important roles much like the organs of a body support the survival of the entire organism. Durkheim believed this to be true of all aspects of society, therefore, even the socially ________ members or groups of society are important to the overall functioning of society.

Respuesta :

Undesirable

Explanation:

Society is seen as a complete living body in Durkheim's functionalist way of thought. As such, even the unwanted waste parts of a living organism are extremely important to overall function of the society and it simply cannot do away with them.

In functionalism the sum of all the constituents of the society are greater than its singular parts.

Thus, the overall cohesion of society is held together by unwanted elements in the society too.
