A Functionalist would claim that mythology contributes to society by helping maintain the social system. They validate the social institutions they describe.
If you are interested in the functionalist approach to psychology, you would most be interested in understanding how the mind and behavior help individuals adapt and function in their environment. This approach focuses on the purposes of mental processes and behavior, emphasizing the role they play in helping individuals survive and thrive. Functionalists are interested in how different mental processes work together to support overall well-being and adaptation.
A functionalist studying the Occupy Wall Street movement would focus on how it serves to address social inequality and draw attention to economic disparities. They would examine how the movement functions within society to bring about positive change or raise awareness of issues related to power and wealth distribution.

Zeus doesn't fear anyone because he is the king of the God's but he does fear that maybe one day his children would kill him like he did his father
well, do you want the serious answer, or the version I've heard... seriously, the stats are impossible for me to find!!! what is up with that? now, as my take on it would be, it appears that people who claim to have seen aliens or UFOs aren't being kept in insane asylums, which accounts for the lack of information... instead, they are being filtered into our secondary schooling system to make druggies appear normal. it's the way our government is trying to hide just how screwed up our nation really is! ;-) back on subject, I'm still trying to find out the actual statistics and will hopefully get back to you soon =]

The definition is: 'The body of myths (sacred stories) of a particular culture, or of humankind as a whole; the study and interpretation of such myths.' Basically, in ancient times, the people would consider 'Mythology' as their Religion. Mythology is filled with gods, goddesses and stories. Some mythologies include Egyptian mythology, Greek mythology and Norse mythology. There are many more - check them out. :)
A functionalist might ask questions related to how different parts of a system work together to maintain equilibrium and promote stability. They are interested in understanding the functions of different social institutions and how they contribute to the overall functioning of society.
the word 'Norse' would be capitalised, but not 'mythology'.

I have had anorexia. It is not fun AT ALL. You would think that it would be worth it, to be skinny, but it isn't. I went into a short coma for a day or two because of anorexia.
A Functionalist might view the Prohibition Era as an attempt to promote social order by reducing alcohol-related crime and improving public health. A Conflict Theorist might see it as a tool of social control by powerful groups to restrict the behavior of marginalized communities. An Interactionist might focus on how prohibition influenced social interactions, such as speakeasies providing spaces for people to socialize outside the law.
The Yamato clan's claim to be descended from the sun goddess in Shinto mythology legitimizes their power by connecting them to divine authority. This claim helps to solidify their rule and maintain support from the people, who may see them as chosen by the gods. Additionally, it enhances their prestige and status among other clans and political entities in ancient Japan.
Men are not inherently more likely than women to favor a structural functionalist approach. Preference for this approach is more likely influenced by individual beliefs, education, and experience rather than gender.
My interpretation is that you would like to be kissed (and who could blame you).
