Assignment:
1. Compare and contrast each of the three major sociological perspectives (functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism). Be sure to address the similarities and differences between each of the three perspectives.
Note: When looking for similarities, consider what matches in the perspectives, or theories. How are these things similar to each other? If you took notes while you were reading, you would be able to review those and look for paired concepts.
The three that needs to be compared is the three stages of sociological perspectives (functionalism, conflict, and symbolic).
2. Select and state one social institution (education, family, or government) to analyze. Also, could you please identify and discuss a social issue or problem related to the social institution.
Note: Pick a social institution that you would enjoy exploring and reflecting upon. For example, if you are a parent experiencing the challenges of raising a teen, you could discuss about the social institution of the family.
Discuss all three (functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism) one for each sociological perspective when it comes to chosen a career from the perspectives of functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism. Also, for each item discussed, refer to at least one specific example from a required resource to support your statements. In other words, support your ideas with evidence from resources; or something that you may have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
Could you also please provide me any cited sources that may have been used?
