What is it? (Approach: Direct Strategy: Discussion Method)
Social Science Theories Social Science Theories are also known as the Three Theoretical
Approaches in Sociology, namely Structural-Functional Theory, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic
Interactionist Theory.
Structural-Functional Theory
Functionalism was first presented by Herbert Spencer wherein he described society as a
mechanism involving parts similar to a human body. These parts of society focus on the different
social institutions, like government, education, family, healthcare, religion, and economy. Thus,
Structural-Functional Theory perceives society in a macro level. According to Emile Durkheim, to
maintain stability, people need to work together as an interrelated and interdependent parts of
society. Interdependentparts include values, languages, and symbols. He introduced laws, morals,
religions, and customs as examples of social facts. Alfred Radcliffe-Brown suggests that people
should contribute to the society for stability and continuity. There are two functions of Structural-
Functionalism which include manifest and latent functions. Robert Merton define Manifest Function
 as something that is sought or anticipated result while Latent Functions are the unsought
consequences. However, in line with the definition of Merton, there are also undesirable
consequences which is known as Dysfunctions.
Conflict Theory (Marxism)
Karl Marx recognized “social classes” as a problem of society that leads to unequal social structure,
making Conflict Theory as an approach in a society at a macro level. The presence of Bourgeoisie
which is also known as the Capitalist or the owner of production and the Proletariat—the working
class resulted social conflicts, like economic inequality, inequality of political power, and unequal
social structure. Social conflicts were first addressed by Max Weber and the factors affecting social
conflicts include age, education, income, gender, sexuality, and race. C. Wright Mills identified
“power elite” which includes corporate, political, and military people as the threat to freedom
amongst the rest of society. These imbalances in the society are only believed to be resolved
through a revolution.
Symbolic Interactionist Theory
The founder of Symbolic Interactionism is George Herbert Mead and he referred symbolic
interactionism as the relationship among individuals within a society though communication—
exchange of meaning through languages and symbols. Herbert Blumer followed the works of Mead
and introduced Three Tenets of Meaning which include (a)meaning based from action, (b)meaning
varies from different people and (c)meaning can change. Meaning can be very specific to every
person making everyone holds different meaning and new meaning will only rise if there is
communication. Dramaturgical Analysis is also included in symbolic interactionism as Erving
Goffman described society similar to a theater wherein the people portray a role a mentioned in the
script. This role pertaining to the people addresses society in a micro level. The roles are generally
accepted by most within the society but there are still short deviances.

proponent in column B.

E. Evaluation Direction: Identify the concepts or ideas in the Social Science Theories that are being manifested by
the following statements.
