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.
Culture has several important characteristics: (1) Culture is comprehensive. This means that all parts must fit together in some logical fashion. For example, bowing and a strong desire to avoid the loss of face are unified in their manifestation of the importance of respect. Culture, as a âcomplex whole,â is a system of interdependent components. 2  Knowledge and beliefs are important parts. 3  In the U.S., we know and believe that a person who is skilled and works hard will get ahead. 4  In other countries, it may be believed that differences in outcome result more from luck.
