Question 1
Functionalism and Conflict theory are two very different schools of thought
looking at the same social world.
With the focus on Conflict theory in this instance, discuss how conflict
theorists view schooling as social construct. (10)
This book is about exploring the conflict theory perspective on various social
institutions and issues. In this chapter, we initially focus on schooling as a social
construct and how conflict theorists view it. The book aims to provide an in-depth
analysis of conflict theory and its application to different aspects of society. By
delving into significant social constructs and issues, the book aims to offer a
comprehensive understanding of conflict theory and its implications for the social
world.
Question 2
Elaborate on the interpretivist approach and how shared meanings influence
how the individual interprets and interacts in a particular social context. (10)
The interpretivist approach in social science emphasizes the importance of
understanding subjective experiences and shared meanings in shaping individual
behavior within a specific social context. This approach rejects the idea of a single
objective reality and instead focuses on the various interpretations and meanings
that people ascribe to their experiences.
