Functional requisites are the major tasks that society must fulfill if it is to survive. The five functional requisites include:
 
(1) replacing members;
(2) socializing new members;
(3) producing and distributing goods and services;
(4) preserving order; and
(5) providing a sense of purpose. Some of these requisites are self-explanatory.

A society must replace its members to perpetuate itself. Without socialization, a society would be in chaos. People need basic resources and a means to share them. There must be a means to defend a society, both from within and from foreign invaders. Finally, without purpose, society would be consumed by self-interest and would seed its own destruction.
