Overview
Journal activities are designed to help you make meaningful connections between the course content and the larger goals of this course. These journals are meant to offer you a more real-world glimpse of sociology, as well as the opportunity to put your critical thinking skills to work by expressing your thoughts in response to the questions assigned for you to answer.
Now that you have been introduced to the three major sociological theories (conflict, functionalist, and interactionist), reflect on these three theories. Answer the following questions in your 250–500-word reflective journal assignment:
- Compare and contrast how each of these sociological theories views the social world and social interaction.
- Which theory do you identify with the most? Explain why you identify with this theory.
