I work by myself at a desk inside my office - and do secretary work. What would this sociologist have to say about my work?

  1. We will need to look at his "functionalism" or functional analysis which is a paradigm that explained social institutions as collective means to fill individual biological needs (later how social institutions fill social needs)  based on what I have read, he would simply say each of us must fulfill that which we are capable of doing to fill societies needs but, it would be an injustice.  

    "If one class of society is obliged, in order to live, to take any price for its services, while another can abstain from such action thanks to resources at its disposal which, however, are not necessarily due to any social superiority, the second has an unjust advantage over the first at law. In other words, there cannot be rich and poor a birth without there being unjust contracts."
