Structural functionalism is a macro level perspective (tries to explain large scale social phenomenon) that believes society is an organized, harmonious bundle of social institutions. The institutions such as educational, religious, economic, etc. all function together. The natural state of society is one of harmony. Everything is society has a function (hence the name functionalism). Since it thinks everything has a function, it justifies the status quo (the existing society) and is conservative.
S-F would argue that poverty would not exist in society if it did not serve a function. Poverty employs a lot of people (social workers, non-profit organizations like thesalvation army, united way, medicaid, etc., politicians who focus on policies relating to the poor). This is your strongest answer.
