Description
For this assignment you will need to compare the three main Sociological Perspectives (Structural Functionalist, Social Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionist) and summarize some of the main ideas of the main theorists (Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Karl Marx). I have provided these three individuals as they will be the ones we talk about most often throughout the semester. I would like additional information that is not listed in the lecture notes or the textbook.This is you chance to add to your knowledge of the information and provide you with a foundation for the rest of the class. I am not looking for anything specific, but rather what you find interesting. This can include short biographies, ideas, theories, etc. Please do not use any AI engine such as ChatGPT for your work. As much as I am a fan of such tools (and I am), the idea for this assignment is to help you gather information so that you have a better foundation of these individuals and the theories. For the sake of transparency the image above was created using Dall-E, the image AI engine developed by the same folks from ChatGPT. https://labs.openai.com/Links to an external site.References and citations required for outside information needs to follow APA formatting.You will need to use at least 2 other sources of information (the more the better) other than the textbook.2 pages (600 Words) for the theory portion and 2 pages (600 Words) for the theorist portion – 2 pages minimum with a combined 1200-1300 word minimum requirement.
