The correct answer is Lewis Henry Morgan

Recognized as one of the founders of modern scientific anthropology, Lewis Henry Morgan was the first to study kinship systems and devised an ambitious theory about man's cultural evolution.

Morgan developed a general theory of the cultural evolution of society, which would take place in three stages: savagery, barbarism and civilization, each marked by the predominance of certain techniques and institutions. The acquisition of a new technique or capacity would mark the end of one stage and the beginning of the next. Thus, the invention of ceramics started barbarism, and writing, civilization.

Although Morgan's theories have revealed themselves over time to be excessively linear and incomplete, his proposal of direct examination of primitive communities and the integration of different cultural, economic and historical factors lent anthropology rigor.

Answer:

b. symbolic interactionism

Explanation:

In sociology and social psychology, the theory of symbolic interactionism focuses on the relationships between individuals who are part of a society. In this theory, one important thing is language and the whole concept of how we communicate with one another, in other words it states that it is through our verbal and non verbal language (also attitudes) that we make sense of our world and this language also shapes our own behavior at the same time.

In this example we have the statement "Gender is socially constructed and maintained in our everyday lives. Gender is something we 'do' on a daily basis. We can see that this statement refers to patterns of behavior that take place among individuals who are part of a society, it also mentions how gender is socially constructed and thus, we communicate it with our verbal and non-verbal language in our day-to-day lives. Thus, this statement most likely comes from the symbolic interactionism perspective.
