TRUE. Continuity theory and disengagement theory are BOTH aligned with the functionalist perspective

Explanation:

The Continuity theory asserts that humans spend their life continuing early behaviors, personality traits, beliefs, and ideas while the disengagement theory claims that the aging population over time removes themselves from society through withdrawing and decreasing interactions. The continuity theory AND the disengagement theory CAN both be viewed from the functionalist perspective as a way to "balance out" society.
