Consequence may be functional or eufuntional or are they dysfunction. If the consequences are functional than the consequence have a relationship to the stability, order and cohesion of the social system. When it contribute to society it is functional. Discuss some of the (non obvious) ways in which deviance contributes to and supports social order. When talking about function and dysfunctions it is important to know the manifest and latent. Manifest functions: the presumable reaction, role or function in society. You come to school to learn and get an education. Latent functions: the not obvious functions of society.
