Sociology
The functionalist theory of inequality suggests that:
high rewards and incentives ensure that the most skilled individuals will take the most important social positions
inequality is inevitable and we are born into poverty or wealth
there are no social functions of inequality, so it should be eradicated
the idea of a meritocracy is a dangerous ideology
high rewards and incentives ensure that the most skilled individuals will take the most important social positions
The functionalist theory of inequality, popularized by David & Moore, suggests that all of the social positions in a society demand different skills and abilities, and so it is important to recruit and train the most suitable people for each position. High rewards for those jobs requiring the highest level of skill will motivate such people to take them, whereas this is not necessary for the lower skilled jobs because there will be a greater number of people who will apply for them. In this way, all of the important positions in society are filled, at every level of the hierarchy. 733
