e than a few hours or days at most. Our strong emotional need for social contact makes it possible to use solitary confinement as an effective punishment in prisons. The threat of social ostracism can also be an effective way of curbing potentially deviant behavior. Those who act "badly" run the risk of being rejected by other members of their social group or community. The need for human social contact and the rewards that it can bring lead most people to become members of numerous social groups. In fact, we are members of many groups at the same time. We may be family members, employees of companies, citizens of towns, states, nations, and members of ethnic groups. In addition, we often are members of clubs, vocational associations, political parties, and religious groups. Our individual identities are greatly defined by the groups to which we belong and by our positions within them. Think about the last time that you met a stranger at a party or at some other social gathering. You probably asked a question to determine what group they belong to and what they do within it. In North America, the typical question in this situation is "what do you do." In other words, are you a student, a doctor, a lawyer, etc. If the stranger answers "I am a student," the common follow-up questions are "what school do you go to" and "what classes are you taking" or "what is your major." In small-scale societies that are primarily organized around kinship, the common equivalent first question for a stranger would be something like "who is your father." In other words, what is your family or clan identity. People around the world create social groups based on two broad criteria: kinship identity and non-kinship factors. Which of these is most important depends greatly on the scale of the society. As societies grow in size to hundreds of thousands of people, the non-kinship factors usually become increasingly important and the kinship ones less crucial. However, even in the largest industrialized nations today, we still use kinship for creating some kinds of social groupings, but kinship has become much less important as a foundation for membership in educational, business, and government organizations. Kinship will be explored in the next tutorial of this series, while non-kinship factors are considered in this one. In studying any society, we can observe various social groups and institutions, each with its specific functions. It does not matter whether the institutions are related to business, religion, the legal system, or families. For instance, the primary function of a legal system is likely to be the maintenance of the social order in society. The functions of different institutions may overlap and are likely to be interrelated in complex ways. Complicating our understanding of them is the fact that any institution is likely to have multiple functions, some of which are more obvious than others. In trying to discover and understand them, it is useful to think of some of the functions as being manifest and others latent. Manifest functions are those that are obvious and easily discovered even by strangers. In contrast, latent functions are those that are less apparent and more difficult to uncover. If you ask people what the functions of their institutions are, most will describe the manifest ones. They may not have even thought of all of the latent ones. However, to get a full understanding of a society and its culture, it is essential to comprehend the latent functions as well. In order to discover them, it is often necessary to observe their effects because people are often unaware of them.
