Sociological Perspectives and Theorists Matching

This question requires matching key sociological perspectives with the sociologists most associated with them.

Perspective-Theorist Associations

Understanding the core ideas of each perspective helps in matching:

  • Functionalism emphasizes social stability and the contributions of each part of society. Émile Durkheim is a foundational figure in this area.
  • Conflict theory focuses on social struggles and power dynamics. Althusser, drawing from Marxist thought, analyzed societal conflicts related to ideology and state power.
  • Symbolic Interactionism centers on micro-level interactions and the meanings derived from symbols. Mead is a key proponent, focusing on the social construction of the self.
  • Feminism critiques gender inequality and advocates for women's rights. Simone de Beauvoir provided seminal contributions to feminist thought.

Matching Process

Based on these associations, we can match List-I with List-II:

  • A. Functionalist $⇔$ IV. Durkheim
  • B. Conflict theorist $⇔$ III. Althusser
  • C. Symbolic interactionist $⇔$ II. Mead
  • D. Feminist $⇔$ I. Simone de Beauvoir

This corresponds to the pairing A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
