STRU
Structural-functionalism sees
society as an arrangement of
interconnected parts that are
incongruity to keep up a
condition of parity and
social equilibrium.
Functionalists
use the terms functional and
dysfunctional to describe the
effects of social elements on
society.
Functional if they contribute to
social stability and
dysfunctional if they disrupt
social stability.
Robert Merton (1968) has
identified two types of functions:
(1) Manifest
function; and (2) Latent
function.
The manifest functions are
consequences that are
intended and commonly
recognized.
Latent functions
are consequences that are
unintended and often hidden.

The starting point of the
conflict perspective can be
rooted with the great works of
Karl Marx (1818–1883). He
proposed that all social orders
experience phases of
financial turn of events.
Industrialization prompts the
improvement of two
classes of individuals: (1) the
bourgeoisie or proprietors
of the methods for creation
and (2) the proletariat or
laborers who triumph for
compensation.
The division of society into
two expansive classes of
individuals the
"haves" and the "havenots"
is valuable to the proprietors
of the methods for
creation.
The laborers, who may gain
just means compensation, are
denied access
to the numerous assets
accessible to the rich
proprietors.
As indicated by Marx, the
bourgeoisie utilize their
capacity to control the
establishments of society for
their potential benefit.
For instance, Marx recommended that
religion fills in as a"sedative of the
majority" in that it calms the pain and
enduring related with the
average workers way of life and
spotlights the laborers' consideration on
other worldliness, God, and existence in
the wake of death instead of on such
common worries as day to day
environments.
The conflict perspective sees
society as made out of various
gatherings and enthusiasm seeking
force and assets.
The conflict perspective clarifies
different parts of our social world by
seeing which gatherings have force
and advantage from
a specific social game plan.
Max Weber (1864-1920) added that
there were also
inequalities of social structure and
political power that caused struggle.
He noted that various groups were
treated differently based on race,
educational, and
gender.

SYM
Erving Goffman
The symbolic interactionism focuses on
the study of human interaction in which people
make sense of their social world through
exchange of language and symbols. The
establish meanings come from human
interactions with others and the society.
These definitions develop their views in
life and use it to communicate with
each other.
Representative interactionism
additionally proposes that our personality or feeling
of self is formed by social
cooperation. We build up our self-idea by seeing
how others collaborate with us
and mark us. By seeing how others see
us, we see a reflection ourselves that
Cooley calls the "mirror self."
