Question

When thinking about gender, Jeff sees men as the dominant social group and women as the subordinate group. He thinks that the exploitation of the subordinate group has created social problems, such as high rates of poverty among single mothers. Which sociological perspective best fit Jeff's views?

Answer 1

Answer:

Conflict Theory

Explanation:

Conflict theory as purposed by Karl Marx is a theory which states that there is permanent conflict in the right to use the resources as they scarce in the market. People tend to overrule because of the powers they have.

Similarly in the given instance Jeff sees men as ruling and being dominant in nature and that the women are not ruling and are subordinated. And because of this men exercise to dominate women for their rights, and accordingly they grab more options and use of resources. This will ultimately lead to conflict as this is a gender bias which do not hold any reason to be valid.
