Use all three perspectives (functionalism, conflict and
interactionism) to analyze any current issue:
(Global warming, terrorism, gender roles, personal branding,
science and technology, utopian society, economy, leadership,
discrimination, relationships, health, gun control, immigration,
disabilities, minimum wage, abortion, cohabitation, etc.).
Write a 700- to 1,000-word essay in which you complete the
following:
Give a brief introduction that identifies the issue you have
chosen and why.
Describe in three separate paragraphs how each perspective
would view or explain the issue.
Include elements of culture and how humans learn, develop, and
become integrated into society.
Provide a conclusion that discusses which perspective you
think is most applicable to the issue or how the three perspectives
complement one another in understanding the issue.
