Explanation:

Whenever you see a sociologist that believes that every aspect of the society that is to say all institutions in the society are somehow connected and works together to produce a stable and productive society then we say that person is a FUNCTIONALIST and the concept in sociology is known as functionalism or structural functionalism. Which means that Kevin is a functionalist as it is given in the question that Kelvin; ''views society as a system of interrelated parts...".
