Talcott Parsons was a prominent sociologist known for his development of structural functionalism, a framework that views society as a complex system with interrelated parts working together to promote stability and social order. He emphasized the importance of social structures and cultural norms in shaping individual behavior and maintaining societal equilibrium. Parsons introduced concepts such as the "sick role" and the AGIL framework (Adaptation, Goal attainment, Integration, and Latency) to explain how different social systems function. His work laid the groundwork for understanding the relationships between individuals and societal institutions.
