The Functions of Culture. 1  Culture assists people in adapting to the conditions in which they live. 2  Functionalism assumes that there are certain minimum biological needs that must be satisfied if individuals and society are to survive, as well as social and psychological needs.
1 A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. The core of a culture is formed by values. 2  They are broad tendencies for preferences of certain state of affairs to others (good-evil, right-wrong, natural-unnatural). 3  Many values remain unconscious to those who hold them. 4  Therefore they often cannot be discussed, nor they can be directly observed by others.
