How does conflict AND consensus theories influence a teacher's work?
In consensus theory, the teacher has control over every aspect of the classroom. But in conflict theory, there would be inequality between students, giving one group more power, or superiority, over the other.
One reason for imperialism was social darwinism explain what this theory means?
One reason for imperialism was social Darwinism; this theory means that sociology and politics was a reserve for those considered to be naturally selected and fit to survive (natural selection and survival of the fittest).
What is a macro theory?
A macro theory is a broad theory that aims to explain large-scale social, political, or economic phenomena at a societal level. It focuses on understanding how institutions, structures, and systems shape society as a whole, rather than individual behaviors or interactions. Examples of macro theories include functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism.
What are the three theoretical perspectives in sociology?
In no particular order: The first school of thought in sociology is called Structural Functionalism (or just Functionalism). It was developed by the French Sociologist (and father of modern sociology) Emile Durkheim. Basically, it states that all social structures have a function. There are some dysfunctions in society, in which Durkheim referred to them as social pathologies. Suicide is a major social pathology. Durkheim centered much of his theory on the fact that society is preponderant, and the individual largely doesn't exist. People's attitudes are shaped by how harshly they are regulated, and how integrated they are into society. Naturally, Durkheim gets much more specific than this, but I'm trying to give the bare basics of his theory. The next school of thought in sociology is Conflict Theory. This theory was developed by the German philosopher Karl Marx. In his mind, history was essentially the recordings of a mass conflict that has existed for ages. His argument centered on the Hegelian dialectic (thesis vs antithesis, combination turns into synthesis, which becomes the next thesis, and so on) and argued that social forces were in conflict, and through this dialectical process would eventually work itself out (the communist revolution was supposed to do this, ending conflict, and thus ending history). Now, Conflict Theory is more focused on this dialectical power struggle, while not necessarily agreeing with his work on the economy (Communist Manifesto). Again, the individual plays little role in this theory. The final, and newest, school of thought is an American concept known as Symbolic Interactionalism. This was developed by the sociologists Cooley and Mead (not together, they both offer unique ideas into the concept). Symbolic Interactionalism is more concerned with small groups, as opposed to the other two theories. Within each interaction, an individual interprets social expectations and mannerisms, internalizes them, and subsequently shapes how the person will conduct him/herself. Cooley's "Looking Glass Self" more definitively explains his theory (again, the individual doesn't exist in this version). Mead, however, does allow for some mention of an autonomous portion of a person, but recognizes the internalization of societal expectations. Again, I am trying to give you the basics. If any of these theories interest you, you should look into them further!
How would functionalists and conflict theorists differ in their analysis of socialization by the mass media?
Functionalists would view socialization by the mass media as a way for society to maintain stability and cohesion by transmitting values and norms to individuals. In contrast, conflict theorists would argue that the mass media perpetuates inequalities and reinforces the existing power structures by promoting certain ideologies and marginalizing others.
Why would a proponent someone who is in favor of Absolutism be a fan of the Divine Right Theory?
Divine Right Theory provides a moral defense of Absolutism. If the ruler is ordained by the divinities to be the ruler, it is proper for him to expropriate all power from the people and attach it to himself.

Was Karl Marx a fascist or a communist?
Karl Marx is considered the father of modern Communist theory. It is grounded in economics and critique of capitalism. He didn't speculate on what a communist society would be like (post-revolutionary society) so he cannot be considered a utopian philosopher and his Communist theory cannot be considered utopian. He was certainly not a fascist.
