, SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY & TRENDS IN FAMILY LIFE 2


1. Briefly compare and contrast structural-functionalist, social-conflict, and symbolic-

interactionist approaches in their analyses of gender stratification.

Various perspectives are presented by the sociologists in order to explain the role of the

gender and inequalities in the society. Gender stratification studies the inequality in terms of

wealth, authority and freedom between genders in the society. The structural- functionalist

approach says that gender are differentiated based on the traditional gender roles that contributes

to the stability of society (Week 5 Lesson, 2020). The roles are such that husband performs the

instrumental tasks of doing financial support and decision making whereas the wife has the

expressive task of providing affection and emotional support to the family (Kendall, 2018, p.

305). While human except these roles readily, it benefits the society to be stable. Society

becomes stable when men are on the upper hand controlling women. However, the

discrimination between men and women in terms of labor and the amount of workload assigned

to women is unfair.

The social conflict theory proposes that the domination of male over female occurs in

families and workplace causing gender stratification (Kendall, 2018). The dominance nature is

pretty much reflected in the political, and economic sector in workplaces. Women are paid less in

comparison to males. The sexual harassment in workplace by male is another example of

dominance. Thus, a social issue of gender inequality occurs when a dominant group suppress

over the weak ones. Conflict between male trying to reign the power and women seeking

equality makes women to protest for their rights.

The symbolic interactionist theory claims, exploring gender stratification from a micro

level analysis is the job of the interactionist (Week 5 Lesson, 2020). The interaction in our daily

life between male and female reflects the gender stratification. I grew up listening to my parents
