The file attached to this assignment gives a little more detail about the functionalist and conflict theories on family. Read it before continuing. Be aware that some of this information is new and not presented in the textbook. This assignment will give you another opportunity to illustrate your knowledge and understanding of the course concept of family and how it relates to the real world, especially your personal world. When writing the paper think of how you would explain or teach these concepts to someone who has never heard of them and/or how you would present them in front of a class like this one. How would you describe the concepts to them? What examples would you use to illustrate the concepts? Read the guidelines below for how to approach this activity.

Finally, Discuss which theory, functionalism or conflict theory, is better for explaining the purpose and role of family in society and why. Format
