The AGIL Framework is a sociological model developed by Talcott Parsons to explain how social systems maintain stability and function effectively. It consists of four key functions: Adaptation, Goal attainment, Integration, and Latency. Each function represents a necessary process that helps societies meet their needs and survive over time.
In this framework, Adaptation refers to how a society adjusts to its environment, while Goal attainment focuses on setting and achieving objectives. Integration ensures that different parts of society work together harmoniously, and Latency involves maintaining cultural values and norms. Together, these functions help societies thrive and evolve.
