Case: Marvin Harris (1927-2001) was an anthropologist who took a functionalist view of society. He believed that male dominance is a universal trait based on social factors and differences in the physical strength of males and females. In contemporary society, this debate continues regarding women in combat roles in the military. It was not until 2015 that women were allowed to hold combat roles in the U.S. military. For this worksheet, you are going to examine the women in combat topic from a functionalism and a conflict theory lens:

Question 1. Up until 2015, how was it functional to prohibit women from participating in combat?

Question 2. Now that women can participate in combat roles, what arguments might a functionalist make to support allowing women in combat roles?

Question 3. What power-based explanations related to gender may have existed prior to 2015 that prohibited women from serving in combat roles?

Question 4. What arguments might a conflict theorist make to support allowing women in combat roles today?
