According to Malinowski, a Polish anthropologist of the first half of the twentieth century, institutions are the organizational means that human groups create to meet their biological “basic needs” and their cultural “derivative needs”.
〽〽〽〽〽〽〽〽〽〽〽〽〽
The objective of Malinowski's theory (1944) is to study the function of culture by examining how any culture defines and answers the “basic needs” of humankind. Ethnology is, for him, the science of culture, which seeks to discover the laws of social organization. Culture is thus the way humans adapt to the natural and environmental conditions. Its function—an important concept for Malinowski—is to satisfy biological and social “needs”. A culture is a coherent totality, an assemblage of institutions that are all, without exception, attached to the satisfaction of a “need”. In his view, everything has a function in culture and everything is linked seamlessly to best meet human “needs”.

For Malinowski, everything thus rests on the notion of “need”, and in particular “physiological needs”. And these “needs” determine requirements and create institutions and social practices. Institutions have functions that can be isolated, and, according to Malinowski, these functions would be pretty much the same in all societies—from which he infers that all human societies are reducible to a number of specific models related to these functions.

Malinowski's functionalism assumes that a practice has to function to meet the “needs” of individuals. But at the same time, it is always the entire society, not its separate components, that responds to individual “needs”. For Malinowski, culture is an undivided whole whose various parts are interdependent.❤❤

Malinowski needs theory:

  • It elaborates on an individual's sight or point of view usability. The theory states that both genetically and emotionally, society has its life for social needs.
  • The usability of Malinowski suggests that a program will work to satisfy individuals "needs". Unlike the systemic functionalism of Radcliffe-Brown, Malinowski claimed that the community evolved to fulfill people's needs rather than society as a whole.
  • He claimed that when people's needs, which constitute culture, are satisfied, then society's needs are met.
