Functionalism refers to one's purpose on earth (everything has a purpose). With all your abilities, talents, interests and inclinations, a person becomes the right person to do a certain task and to accomplish things better than what others can do. That is why the levels of performance vary from person to person. Finding the right person to do the job is only a matter of suitability, ability and interest. Materialism, on the other hand, is being so engrossed with money and what it can buy. Money can buy a nice bed, but not a good night's sleep. It can buy you the finest clothes, but not class and elegance (because these attributes are a matter of how one carries himself and not simply wearing the most expensive clothes). Yes, money can buy you the most expensive food, but most of the time, indulging creates a lot of health problems. Money can buy you medicines, but not health. A person has to find his or her purpose on this earth... what God intends him to do. On the other hand, his functionalism should also be balanced with the proper use of material things God entrusts him/her with.

i think thge first difference between functionalism and symbolic interactionism it that symbolic interaction deals mostly with verbal and nonverbal interaction meanwhile functionalism deals with large scale groups that can be breaken down in to sub units
Although both functionalism and phenomenology deal with social aspects of life functionalism looks more at group interactions, while phenomenolgy looks more at the individual and their interactions with others. Functionalism looks at maintaining the status quo, while phenomenolgy considers what we get out of interactions with others.

they both focus on education.
hard materialism - body and mind is purely physical and both die at death. soft materialism - body and soul live on after death. (not earthly body, you get a spiritual one)
Naturalism says that all things that exist are natural, and the supernatural does not exist. Materialism agrees with that, but goes further by adding that all things that exist are matter, or a manifestation of matter (such as energy), or are reducible to matter. Naturalism does not deny that certain things, such as the Mind, may not be reducible to matter. It merely denies that they are supernaturalistic. Materialism denies the possibility of all non-materialistic things altogether.
