In this video we will be talking about institutions as performing social functions, we discuss a number of components to this process including the need for functional roles, some defined set of relations between these roles and their integration into some overall process that transforms an input to an output through a set of instructions either formal or informal. We will talk about how institutions may be dysfunctional, leading to the generation of social entropy a state of disintegration and decay that needs to be exported in some fashion from the social system in order to maintain its structure and functionality, finally we talk about the differences between formal and informal institutions.
