Functionalism, Marxism, and Symbolic Interactionism.
We are done with determining the disciplines related to Social Sciences. As we continue to discover the
mysteries beyond our being with the society, we are introduced to the ideas that seem to affect our community
as a whole.
Theories concerning our being one with the society emerged as social scientists try to answer how or why
communities exist. This module will allow us to analyze the basic concepts and principles of three theories
concerning social science, namely Structural Functionalism, Marxism and Symbolic Internationalism.

there were indifferences between her grandparents as to their beliefs about mass testing. There were also
conflict between the church and the local government unit (LGU). The said office is planning to build a
communitywide quarantine center in the forest near Barangay Kagitingan where Inday Juana lives. More so,
the dean in their provincial state college was involved in a controversy regarding child abuse, but the governor
(who turned to be Juana’s father) dismissed the case because the dean was a three-year national awardee.
The high-ranking church officials, however, filed a case against the dean in the provincial court for committing
the alleged crime. The LGBTQ community was also planning to rally against the school for they believe that
their dean is immoral. Inday Juana, being a lesbian and the governor’s only daughter, was tasked to intervene.
The SK Federation President was incompetent to face them and the governor said they need Inday Juana to
maintain peace in the city.
