Talcott Parsons (13 December 1902 – 8 May 1979) was an American sociologist of the classical tradition, best known for his social action theory and structural functionalism. Parsons is considered one of the most influential figures in sociology in the 20th century.
Talcott Parson book 'The Social System' is tedious and boring to read, the writing is very bad, according to a review by Terry Trowbridge at amazon.com
"Talcott Parsons is a very bad writer. Your eyes will shrivel and fall out. Your reading lamp will change colors so it only glows in taupe. This book is a heavy as 3 Bibles (I checked) and lacks the racy bits that make Bible thumping so popular."

"Interesting job... so far as customer-service. Lots to learn & know. Cons: You are a cog in the machine and if you don't produce, they don't want you"
