Your Answer: The three sociology's research orientations are Critical Sociology, Positivist Sociology, and Interpretive Sociology. Critical Sociology defines a type of society which has inequality patterns. In some scenarios, a set category of people are more dominate than others. In this case, they take a social conflict approach. Positivist Sociology is defined by the study of a company in an orderly system having an objective reality "Out There." This research orientation supports the structural-functional criteria. When discussing the Interpretive Sociology, we are describing the ongoing interaction concept of society. This type of society is relative to people attached to their behaviors. The researchers are more focused on the subjective meaning and follow the symbolic interaction approach (Macionis, 2016). Chapter 1. Answer should include the following: positivist sociology, based on science; interpretive sociology, based on the meanings that people attach to behavior; and critical sociology, based on bringing about social change. (TCOs 3 and 8) You have been asked by a committee of student success coaches to investigate why the rate at which freshman students post to their course threaded discussions is lower than the rate for other groups of students. Explain how the structural-functionalist perspective would analyze and explain the low posting rate. (In other words, consider the contributing factors that the structural-functionalist perspective would focus on in trying to explain the reasons for the low rate of students posting to their threads.) Then discuss a solution that a functionalist might use to encourage freshman students to post. Your Answer: Freshman are new in take and nearly less comfortable and acquainted with the social capacities and social norms that dictate the society of a new classroom environment as the freshman adjusts. When you first come into something new and fresh, the student may dread posting due to thinking they would be judged for posting the wrong answer or simply making a mistake. This restrains the student from participating in the discussion post. The two mainstays of the functionalist perspective are solidarity and stability. I think if it's made known that when completing post that it's alright to commit an error because everyone is present to learn and that it's only one instructor who will explain the post. Another suggestion would probably be to put emphasis on the importance of cooperation and collaboration. When the instructor is specific with instructions and allow the focus to not be solely on the educator it should encourage peer to peer interaction. Chapter 1 covers the basic elements of the core sociological theories. In addressing the first part of this question, students will need to demonstrate that they understand the basic ideas and concepts of functional theory. In addressing the second part of this question, students will need to demonstrate that they can offer a solution to the problem based on functionalist theory.
