Functionalist émile durkheim viewed society as

An organism, which becomes healthy and stable if its organs are healthy and stable.

Explanation:

Emile durkhiem stated that in organisms, every organs and cells have their own function that eventually serve as an important component that allow the organism to live/operate. When some parts of organs or the cells stop operating properly, the body will become sick and unstable.

This is similar to the society where we live in. Every persons have their own jobs/role that allow society to thrive and develop. If they are not doing the role, the society will turn into chaos.
