MAJOR CHOICE
Functionalism is the
doctrine that what
makes something a
thought, desire, pain
(or any other type of
mental state)
depends not on its
internal constitution,
but solely on its
function, or the role it
plays, in the
cognitive system of
which it is a part.
Conflict theory emphasizes
social inequality and
suggests that far-reaching
social change is needed to
achieve a just society.
interactionism is a
theoretical perspective
that sees social behavior
as an interactive product
of the individual and the
situation. In other words, it
derives social processes
from social interaction,
