Question

__________ perspectives are based on the assumption that social life is a continuous struggle in which members of powerful groups seek to control scarce resources. in addition, values and norms help create and sustain the privileged position of the powerful in society while excluding others.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Conflict perspectives.

Explanation:

This perspective is based on assumptions that people are in a struggle always and there are powerful groups of people who control everything and keep resources scarce for others. They believe that the people who are wealthy and in power keep others that are wealthy and have same values privileged while the middle class and lower class are excluded. People who use this perspective to tell others this is the reason for social changes, but cannot explain why people aren't stable socially.

There are three theoretical perspectives that Sociologists study. These are the conflict, symbolic interactionist, and the functionalist perspective. All of these are based on different views of people and how they respond to others.
