Describe, compare and contrast functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction theory.

Formatting: Do not list the questions in your essay, and do not number your answers.  Feel free to use subheadings with proper spacing if necessary.  Do not use extra spaces to make your essay look longer than it is. The only sources you can use for this essay are the textbook, the lecture videos, and the power points. In many instances, students will Google these theories instead of using their book and notes. When this happens, these theories get applied in the wrong context and students fail the essay. 

Essays must be written in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, 1-inch margins, and must be a MINIMUM of 2 pages in length.  You must use the MLA format for your citations and summaries/paraphrasing.  FAILURE TO CITE SOURCES PROPERLY COULD RESULT IN A GRADE OF 0, as not giving credit to the author of your source is plagiarism.  For help with MLA and citations, visit this website.Links to an external site.

Your essay should answer the following questions:

  1. Describe functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction theory.  
  2. Compare and contrast functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction theory. 
  3. Include an introduction and a conclusion paragraph. 
  4. Include a Works Cited page (which does not count towards your 2-page minimum).
An example of how it can be organized: 
1. Introduction + thesis
2. Describe functionalism
3. Compare and contrast functionalism
4. Describe conflict theory
5. Describe symbolic interaction theory
6. compare and contrast 4 and 5 theories
7. Compare and contrast the two theories
8. Conclusion
The essay should be simple to understand and the thesis should be the last sentence of the the introsuction, VERY clear 🙂
