The two paradigms that I have chosen for this week’s discussion are the feminist paradigm and the critical race theory paradigm. According to (Babbie, 2016) feminist paradigms not only reveal the treatment of women or the experience of oppression but often point to limitations in how other aspects of social life are examined and understood. (Babbie, 2016) Feminist paradigms reflect not only a concern for the unequal treatment of women but also an epistemological recognition that men and women perceive and understand society differently. Yet, critical race theory according to (Ortiz, 2010) is based on the following assumptions: race is a social construction, race permeates all aspects of social life, and race-based ideology is threaded throughout society. The roots of critical race theory are generally associated with the civil rights movement of the mid-1950s and race-related legislation of the 1960s (Babbie, 2016). The similarities between both the feminist and critical race theory paradigms is they both deal with the oppression, unequal treatment, and discrimination of people. The difference is the feminist paradigms focuses on the mistreatment, exclusion, and biases towards women. However, in the critical race theory the mistreatment, oppression, and discrimination are towards a race of people particularly those of African American decent. As human service professionals (HSP), we will work with diverse groups of people. Social science research helps us to become more aware and knowledgeable. The more knowledgeable we are and the more proven research we have, will help us to better serve others. Usually, there are reasons why people do the things they do or even behave in certain ways. I feel that both paradigms are useful because the studies help us to better understand the oppression and discrimination of others and that people have different experiences in life which can affect how they view society. The more we understand helps us to become better HSPs. Write a 1 to 2 page essay paper that discusses the topic below.

The goal is to not mistake our paradigm for reality. The two I selected are Conflict Paradigm and Symbolic Interactionism. Conflict paradigm looks at conflict amongst society as coming about due to classes having competing interests. It focuses its attention on class, poverty, and ethnic st ...
