Social Theory Connected to SPCA: Functionalism- This theory is based off of agreement and order which leads to a society filled with social stability. The SPCA is working together with the community so that they can educate them on how to promote kindness to animals through their programs and services. While, the community works with the SPCA by assisting them with many donations to keep the organization running. Therefore by working together it creates solidarity within the community.
