The pandemic is impacting every institution and causing social change, something that functionalists are not fond of to say the least. For your assessment, I want you to address the two institutions we covered in class: the family and the education system. The pandemic is changing the functions of the two institutions and sending more duties to the family at this time. There is incredible stress on the institution of the family and stress on the education system as well. You will need to address how the pandemic is impacting each institution and address the functions mentioned in the news articles. To accomplish this , find at least two reputable news stories for each category and provide a brief summary and commentary.

Intro: what is functionalism and the two institutions we studied in class? What is the global pandemic happening right now? How are those connected?
