The major Social Science theories provides different point of view in
TA
looking into the social world. People may have his/her own perspective or
essential viewpoint about the world. But there are existing theories or
propositions and standards intended to respond to a question or clarify a
specific phenomenon. The sociological theories help us to clarify and foresee
BA
the social world where we live.
The macro level of the major social science theories in sociological
analysis includes the Structural-functionalism and Marxism. These two
approaches concerned with the broad aspects of society such as institutions
O
and large social groups that influence the social world. It looks at the big
picture of society and suggests how social problems are affected at the
SD
institutional level. On the other hand, the Symbolic Interactionism is a micro
level of sociological analysis concerned with the social psychological
dynamics of individuals interacting in small groups. Sociology offers three
major Social Science theories namely, Structural functionalism, Marxism, and
Symbolic Interactionism. Each perspective offers a variety of explanations
about the social world and human behavior.
