Functional theory explained the impossibility of a non-class society. The non-class society is a myth that has never been realized in human history. In other words, inequality is a determined fact, necessity and imperative character.
Social sociologists denied the division of society into social strata based on the relationship to production methods and used the concept of social hierarchy, which includes social classes based on factors such as income, occupation, education and others.
Functionalism divides society into social classes based on wealth, prestige, status and power, a societal phenomenon prevalent in past, present and future societies.

These theoretical statements of function were attempts to justify the current status of the division of wealth, the social situation created by inequality. It is therefore an attempt to obliterate the class struggle that has intensified in capitalist society, as well as to ignore the functional role of social inheritance through which inequality passes from generation to generation, Therefore, functionalism has focused on the ethical consensus that overlooks conflict within society or conflicting interests.
