Sociologist Robert Merton modified the Structural Functional Analysis to include manifest and latent consequences of a social structure (like laws) to the society at large or to groups. Manifest consequences are consequences that are intended or expected to come with the structure. Latent consequences on the other hand are consequences that are incidental or accidental in nature. Consequences may either be positive or negative in effect. Positive consequences are called Functions while negative consequences are called Dysfunctions. Perform this analysis on the TRAIN Law by filling up the table. Remember that the consequences you write down are pertaining to effects to the society or social groups.
