Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Structural functionalism holds that human societies tend to evolve toward increased differentiation, in which institutions become increasingly specialized in the functions they perform. Some scholars-most notably Alexander (1981)-have argued that the development of journalism should be seen in this light.
Detailed explanation-2: -Manifest function refers to the intended function of social policies, processes, or actions that are consciously and deliberately designed to be beneficial in their effect on society. Meanwhile, a latent function is one that is not consciously intended, but that, nonetheless, has a beneficial effect on society.
