Social Structure & the 3 Perspectives

Read all three theoretical perspectives outlined on the chart on page 78. I would like you to write a two paragraph answer.

The first paragraph, I would like you to choose a theoretical perspective that you agree with. In your answer I would like you to provide a different, specific example from that in your book (from society) that relates to the main points of the perspective and explain how/why it relates. I would also like you to address why you felt this perspective was most aligned with your views. You must include YOUR answer to the bolded question for the perspective you chose from pg. 78. This paragraph should be between 5-7 sentences in length.

In the second paragraph, I would like you to choose a theoretical perspective that you disagree with. I would like you to address why you disagree with perspective and provide reasoning on why the argument presented on pg. 78 is weak or invalid. Please provide specific examples from society to prove your point. This paragraph should be between 5-7 sentences in length.

This post is due by 3 pm on Friday, October 18th. Be aware of spelling and grammatical errors in your answer. This should be written in complete sentence format. Please see me-prior to due date-if you have any questions. Points possible 20. Points will be awarded based on argument and logical thought process...not just the completion of the blog.
