Hello Everybody!

I feel very lost in my sciences politics and now we're talking about functionalism, more especially about Talcott Persons and his AGIL scheme...

In fact I guess I see what he's meaning but... it seems so abstract to me :/

So what I want to ask you is; Don't you have a concrete example showing how an action system is using these 4 procedures? because I see on so many websites That Adaptation = economy Goal Att.= Politics Integration=social Latency= Culture.

But my teacher told us that for example a politician should take their resources in the population to try to be elected!... So adaptation isn't only a matter of economy, right? so why does it figure EVERYwhere?

Thank you so much for your help :)
