textbook, use any other website information i may post with each discussion question. i
realize you do not have the benefit of my lectures for this online course, so it is up to you to
‘convince’ me you know the material. We depend a lot on you for this type of course. that is
evident in the quality and quantity of your writing. So, a bit of what is required from you is
to summarize the readings. Too little not good and too much not necessarily needed. Some
of what we do will require you give back information that you read and some of what we do
allows you to give your opinions (that is called critical analysis, when you give opinion
based on fact). Most importantly try to enjoy learning something you may not have known
before! 1. What is sociology and the sociological perspective? What do you see are some of
the most important uses of sociology? What is meant by the nature vs. nurture debate in
the social sciences? Describe and compare and contrast functional theory, conflict theory,
and symbolic interactionism. Who are the major contributors (theorists) to each
theory? Which theory is a macro level theory and which is a micro level theory? What is a
demographic variable? Using race and social class as two major demographic variables,
define each and explain the consequences of developing notions of race and social
class. Cite an example of how each theory can be used to understand some human behavior,
issue, or social problem of your choice.Video for Chapter
