Question

The argument made by feminists that men and women should have equal rights and that the emphasis of male superiority or patriarchy by society is wrong falls under the perspective most aligned with ________.​
1. functional analysis
2. structural analysis
3. conflict theory
4. symbolic interactionism

Answer 1

Answer:

3. conflict theory

Explanation:

Feminists argue that power is unequally distributed among men and women, so they seek to change the current state of things. By doing so they engage in conflict theory analysis since the social structure they argue is led by a patriarchal hierarchy.

As a conflict theory , a reshaping of power will follow after identifying the underlying causes in past models of society.

Feminists will also view how social order is held, and what practices are being continued to reinforce the model that they contest. In so they seek to create new norms for consensus and conformity in a society more open to embracing different and new kinds of social institutions & practices.
