In a land far far away and long ago there was an abundance on
game animals untilhunters came and slaughtered animal after animal to
sell to near by restaurants for profit.Time passed and many became rich
but the once abundant forests were now some howempty and game-less.
Something had to be done! That's when mayor, John Enviro Mentalthe II
of New Brunswick decided he would ban the listing of game animals on
the menusat near by restaurants to stop the pilfering of the land. He
chose the menu ban because hestill wanted for there to be hunting but
not hunting for profit. He brought his proposalbefore the city council
where it met resistance, but being the accomplish politician he was,he
knew a bribe would get them into a passing the law kinda mood. Some
of the Manifest functions John saw was the preservation of game that
wouldbe brought about if he could stop hunting for profit by taking the
game off the menus atthe near by restaurants. However latent functions
occurred with the passing of the law, theamount of people who suffered
food poisoning from the meat cooked at the restaurantswent down.
However latent dysfunction's occurred, somewhere ville, their
neighbor to theeast, who's economy was propelled by their firearms and
ammunition industry suddenlyhad no customers, and promptly went
bankrupt. A wave of unemployment and bitternessswept through the
town, and the people became angry at what the foolish mayor of
NewBrunswick had done to their city! Back in New Brunswick
things weren't so good either, people who once madetheir living by
hunting, were now living in squalor. They were forced to turn to a life
ofcrime and mug people on the street to get money so they could eat !
With the recent crime wave that struck the city the mayor
was losing popularityand the town began to turn against him. People in
desperation for a solution began to getcrazy ideas like burning down city
hall or hanging the mayor. Well when the people ofSomewhere ville
moved to New Brunswick looking for a job they also brought their ideasof
revolution. 3 Months after the bill was passed the mayors house was
burned in the middle ofthe night. He came out of his burning house to a
angry mob. The angry mob promptlyhung him from the tree in his front
yard.Overall manifest functions: To reduce the taking of game from
depleted forests.Overall latent functions: Reduced food poisoning from
under cooked meat.Overall latent dysfunction's: Crime, unemployment,
the mayors unfortunate death.
