According to Martin's perception of functionalism all standardized social and cultural beliefs are functional for both societies as a whole as well as individuals in society. This outlook maintains that various parts of social systems must show a high level of integration but Martin argues that a generalization like this cannot be extended to larger, more complex societies.
The second claim has to do with universal functionalism. This claim argues that all standardized social and cultural forms have a positive function. Martin argues that this a contradiction to what is seen in the real world.
The third claim of functional analysis that Martin argues with is that of indispensability. This claim states that the standardized parts of society have positive function and also represent indispensable parts of the working whole, which implies that structures and functions are necessary for society. Here, Martin argues, people must be willing to admit that there exist various structural and functional alternatives with in society.
