In the late 1800s, Horatio Alger wrote over 100 fictional stories
of amazing success from rags-to-riches. Functionalists used
Alger's stories to support their belief that failure and success
lies squarely on the individual.
Does the belief that failure and success lies squarely with the
individual release society from any responsibility in assisting
those needing help?
Support your position with examples.
