BRONISLAW MALINOWSKI(1884 1942)

biological and psychological needs
and that the ultimate function of all
cultural institutions is to fulfill those
needs.
Culture must provide for:
1. biological needs (production and
reproduction)
2. instrumental needs (law, education,
etc.)
3. integrative needs (religion, art, etc.)
