The three traditional major perspectives are:
-Structural-Functionalism
-Symbolic Interactionism
-Conflict Theory
You may, however, use other appropriate sociological theories you have encountered in your learning.
Using this theory, address the following questions:
-How can the theory you’ve chosen help explain why the social problem exists, or why it qualifies as a problem?
-How can the theory help explain why the problem still exists?
-How do you think the theory might inform possible solutions to the problem?
