Merton says that functions of the social institutions maintain the society and the contributions bring order, unity and cohesiveness in society. Society is constituted by innumerable parts like economy, polity, religion, education, family etc. These parts are not isolated, but are interconnected with each other. Each part has a different function to contribute to society. For example, education has a function, because it prepares the child to adapt to the society. All these functions of social institutions together helps in maintaining the society.
