The text discusses “Theoretical Perspectives in Sociology” in Chapter 2.
As a student, you sociologically view the world in a particular way.
Do you see society as a system where all the various parts work
together to keep the system functioning smoothly (structural
functionalism), or do you see society as a place where various groups
are struggling for power and influence in competition with other groups
(conflict theory)? Perhaps you see the world primarily as a place that
is about relationships between people and how people understand each
other and understand what is expected of them in different situations
(symbolic interactionism).
