This function contributes to the maintenance of social order and cohesion by cultivating a feeling of shared identity and collective purpose. It highlights the importance of education in preparing individuals for future economic positions. Education, in this function, provides individuals with the essential information and skills to enter the workforce and contribute to the economy by teaching disciplines such as arithmetic, science, and vocational skills.

The idea that education contributes to reproducing social inequities is a crucial part of conflict theory in education. It contends that the curriculum, teaching techniques, and assessments mirror the ruling class's dominant values and perspectives, reinforcing existing power dynamics. This perspective emphasizes the importance of critically examining educational practices and challenging the status norm.

It shows how people communicate and interact using the language wherein its words have their own subjective meanings which they use to interpret societal happenings

STA MARIA: In functionalism, as being discussed in the class, each part of the society contributes to the whole and works together to maintain being stable. This also emphasizes the functions and purposes of these institutions on how they contribute to social change. However, in education, functionalism contributed by spreading and producing new ideas, values, and beliefs that can be a generator of change, as well.

This perspective emphasizes the importance of social connections in the classroom. Students and teachers, according to this viewpoint, create their understanding of the educational process through interaction with one another. This highlights the significance of active interaction, participation, and dialogue in learning.

STA. MARIA: Conflict Theory views the struggle of society by having scarcity in resources. Economic wealth and power are the two main concerns for this. But, in education, it was the stratification tool for capitalist and social control. Meaning, there are borders among the society, there are privileged people and there are marginalized people.

STA. MARIA: Symbolic Interactionism highlights the communication in the society that influences culture to culture. That is how Blumer gives the basic premises of symbolic interactionism in various perspectives, such as the meaning, language, and thoughts. In education, it is the practical interactions that happen inside the school premises among students, teachers, and other school persons.

In sociology, structural functionalism serves as a school of thought in which each institution, relationship, position, and convention, together makes up a society, each has a purpose and each is necessary for the sustainable functioning of other members and of society. On the other hand, Emile Durkheim shared his 5 Main Social Functions which are Socialization, Social Control, Selection and Allocation, Assimilation of newcomers, and the Social Innovation and Change.

In simple words, Conflict Theory is all about "inequality" and "scarce resources" which can affect an individual's economical status. In spite of this, we must respect them regardless of the group they belong in.

From this sociological perspective, I realized how important our role is as an individual to maintain and flourish our society, and to make greater changes. Since education is vital, at a young age (Schooling years) it should be imparted to their minds that all of us have a role and function here in the world. It promotes stability, emphasizing that all people have specific functions; all of us matter. I also appreciate how they emphasize how diverse people are, in terms of cultural background, beliefs, and experiences that we should be more sensitive and understanding toward other people.

Symbolic interactionism analyzes society by addressing the subjective meanings that people impose on objects, events, and behavior. It is believed that people behave based on what they believe and not just on what is objectively true.

Conflict theorists place a strong emphasis on how inequality impacts society and education as a whole. It illustrates how the conflict for limited resources, finances, and learning conditions would eventually have an impact on society. Up until now, this type of conflict has arisen. We should be aware of this because it will present us with a challenge to act.

Functionalism discusses the designated functions of societal factors in order to maintain peace and order in our life. It made me realize the importance of having an assigned function for me to know the whys and hows of every matter that we do.

Through the lens of symbolic interactionism, I became aware of the importance of social interaction and the numerous interconnected aspects that constitute it. Additionally, how teacher expectations affect student performance underlines the need for teachers to recognize and reinforce something that will motivate the student that will eventually have a positive impact in any area; society.

According to Emile Durkheim, a prominent figure in sociology, he contributed significantly to the development of functionalism from a sociological perspective. He believed that functionalism is a theoretical framework that views society as a complex system with various parts, each serving a specific function to maintain our social stability and order.

Conflict theorists can be a great matter to talk about since the meaning of it screams INEQUALITY and in this generation, we are fighting for equality. It is amazing to think that our generation is fighting for unfair and scarce solutions of the government but we on the other side, we must also consider understanding the economic welfare of the country.

Conflict theory is a sociological perspective that views society as a system characterized by inequality, competition, and conflict over limited resources and power. This perspective focuses on the role of conflict in shaping society, social structures, institutions, and individual behavior. It provides a critical perspective that seeks to understand the power dynamics and social struggles that influence the structure and functioning our society.

Symbolic interactionism is a sociological perspective that focuses on the micro-level interactions and symbolic meanings that individuals attach to objects, events, and social roles in their everyday lives. This perspective was developed by Herbert Blumer and explores how individuals create and interpret their social reality through symbols and interactions, emphasizing the importance of meaning and social context in shaping human behavior.

In this sociological perspective, I realize the importance of communicating with others as it affects different aspects especially in education. No man is an island they say, that's why the symbolic interactionism is great to teach among young students for them to know its good effects earlier.

What I understand about functionalism is that society has different functions, and it is interconnected to maintain the stability of our society. In education, functionalism views schools and educational institutions as playing a crucial role in sustaining the stability of society.

BELDERA

belderamae — 2023-10-02 09:36:44 UTC

I learned about Conflict theory is that views society as a battleground for power and resources, emphasizing the competition and inequality between different social groups. In education, conflict theory means that schools can sometimes favor some students over others, leading to inequality and differences in opportunities for learning.

In Symbolic interactionism it is a theory that says people use symbols like words and gestures to communicate and understand the world around them. In education, symbolic interactionism means that students and teachers use symbols, like words and signs, to communicate and learn from each other.

Functionalism dwells in the understanding that every individual has their specific function to society to work as a part rather than being alone. The construction in this theory believes that in socialization their is a harmonious effect that every one of us have a part in building our economy.

Ramos

Conflict Theorist gives value to the social perspective of human behavior in its approach to solve the conflict that binds the change towards the improvement of the society. Each individual have their own beliefs, understanding, and norms to follow it gives reason to learners to be aware of this part as they unravel the change that gives them social control and eventually the rise of their society.

According to the website StudySmarter, it stated that education provide a huge significance on our society, as a social institution, which aid the needs of the society and maintain stability. This strengthen my insight that functionalism promote education in which allows an individual to establish their roles which can be vital to the society, in order to maintain function of the society and its social equilibrium. For example is learning subjects related to your chosen career path in the future, which will be beneficial to the world due to the nature and purpose of your chosen job.

Ramos

Symbolic interactionism focuses on human perception through things how they feel about this kind of this and how it can affect them in terms of judgment and beliefs. It gives reason through their action and desire that will eventually manifest through their interactions with social groups that can spread rapidly, turning into culture and norms of a society.

AMISTOSO

According to the website Investopedia, it stated that conflict theory is about competition due to limited resources. This supports my insight that in the society we heavily strive for opportunities. This is in order to possess wealth and power, as social orders must comes with authority, in which as we can notice in the society, particularly in economic aspect, capitalism maintain inequality as it makes the poor, poorer and rich become richer.

AMISTOSO

According to the website YourDictionary, it stated that personal experiences intensify the subjective meaninngs of things around us. Through this definition, I concluded that experiences are the reason for how we create concepts of symbols, challenges and issues. That also defines what are the things that should be important to us that adds to what we need, should focus on, and goals that define our purpose.

I would like to draw a comparison between Functionalism and an Ethernet cable. An Ethernet cable consists of numerous wires with different colors, and each of them holds a significant role in providing a fast internet connection. These color-coded wires serve as the social institutions that help maintain stability in our society. Each of them plays a crucial role in instructing individuals in proper behavior, adherence to rules, fulfilling their societal roles, fostering inclusiveness, and facilitating potential social transformations. These wires are covered with plastic and insulation, which holds them together to ensure that they will function, similar to how functionalism emphasizes the importance of every part of society. This instills in our community the idea that working together and fulfilling our responsibilities will help our society prosper.

Conflict theory reminds me of something I've read on social media, where someone pointed out that they noticed only a few people from low-income backgrounds attend prestigious universities, while many individuals from high-income families are enrolled there. The author of the post implies that this discrepancy exists because wealthy individuals have access to various resources that help them enhance their skills and acquire the knowledge needed to pass university admissions. I believe this is where conflict theory comes into play. It's not solely about social class determining why some people are unable to pass admission tests at prestigious universities; rather, it's also about the government's failure to make education accessible for everyone. They have reduced the budget for state universities, limiting the number of students these schools can accommodate. The root causes of this issue stem from oppression by educated and corrupt individuals who misuse confidential funds, which are hard-earned by Filipino citizens.

Based on my understanding, it is making a diverse society functional in making everyone feel safe, loved, and appreciated. It emphasizes the roles of an individual where they can create change that can make an impact and can deliver the best possible solutions in whatever circumstances it is.

It has been visible up until now that there are a lot of inequalities in life, especially in education. There have been a lot of opportunities where everyone can benefit but there are people who are corrupt and greedy that’s why a lot of youths or students are just barely living.

Collaboration plays a vital role in symbolic interactionism to create meaningful and wonderful experiences. It showcases how people interact and interpret meanings that are based on their surroundings.

MARAVILLA

2023-10-02 11:32:39 UTC

Symbolic Interactionism reminds me of how a gesture like 'mano' means a thousand words to our elders and speaks for our culture. Ever since we were children, our parents taught us that whenever we go to someone's house or when someone visits us, we should perform the 'mano' gesture to show our respect for them. Even without words, it conveys that we always give respect, importance, and gratitude to the roots of our lives.

Functionalism is the same as reconstructionism in other ways because of social functions that can help individuals maintain and be productive in our society.

Ong

2023-10-02 11:37:59 UTC

Conflict theory is a theory that tackles issues that may badly affect individuals. An example of this is conflict in education, according to which students with low academic achievements are chosen for lower jobs and grouped into low-income groups.

Ong

Symbolic interaction is about how communication is very important to society because it gives us more understanding and knowledge. An example of this is an ethnic group with their different languages that understands their language, which builds their society's tradition and culture with the help of language.

Functionalism approaches society as a complex system that highlights the interconnectedness of its parts as a key to maintaining balance or what we call “stability.” Social institutions such as family, government, education, etc. all serve a specific function hence, any dysfunction within the system could arise to social problems and disrupt the harmonious work of society.

DIEZ

2023-10-02 11:43:24 UTC

In contrast to functionalism, the conflict theory emphasizes the inequalities within the society. This perspective highlights the gap between the social classes particularly the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat) since resources are distributed unevenly resulting in a power imbalance. Aside from the conflict of social classes, it also applies to other forms of inequality in society such as race, gender, etc. which could lead to societal struggle.

DIEZ

2023-10-02 11:43:53 UTC

In this perspective, it examines how individuals create as well as interpret symbols like gestures, words, expressions, etc. to construct their meaning of reality. With this, it suggests that one’s actions are driven by the meanings we attached to them thus, it is developed through social interactions with the other members of society.

CULATA

2023-10-02 12:05:23 UTC

In terms of Functionalism through a sociological perspective, this approach views society from a macro-level perspective and focuses on the overall context of understanding how people follow social norms and adhere to legal requirements. To put it simply, every aspect of society is interrelated and contributes to the stability and efficiency of society as a whole, that each member of the society matters and correlated to each other to promote stability.

CULATA

2023-10-02 12:12:15 UTC

By using the word "conflict," this method emphasizes on society's more profound ideas about inequality and the struggle over limited resources. Pursuant to this approach, conflict arises in society as a result of structural divisions like social class, gender inequality, and on how wealth and power is a major factor.

CULATA

2023-10-02 12:23:26 UTC

This method primarily focuses on how society perceives and compensates symbols through interpretation from a particular behavior, on how interpretation aids in understanding things in the context of the social world and individual identities. In the context of education, each student is distinct and different from the others since every person is moulded uniquely in terms of how they view and interact with others in society.

VILLANUEVA

2023-11-11 14:00:29 UTC

The premise that every component of society plays a critical role in sustaining stability and contributing to the general functioning of the whole was stressed in our recent class. This viewpoint emphasizes the importance of institutions and their functions in influencing social change. Functionalism plays an important role in education by propagating and producing new ideas, values, and beliefs. In this setting, education acts not just as a stabilizing force, but also as a catalyst for constructive societal evolution, encouraging creativity and shifting perspectives.

VILLANUEVA

2023-11-11 14:03:48 UTC

A basic feature of conflict theory in the field of education is the idea that education has a role in sustaining social inequities. It implies that the curriculum, teaching techniques, and assessments frequently mirror the dominant social class's beliefs and perspectives, strengthening established power structures. This point of view emphasizes the importance of critically analyzing educational procedures and challenging prevalent conventions in order to address and correct systemic injustices.

VILLANUEVA

My comprehension of the meaning embedded in social interactions has increased as a result of studying the symbolic interactionism framework. It shows the complex network of interrelated components forming our social structure. Examining how teacher expectations affect students' performance also highlights how important it is for teachers to identify and support students' motivators. Teachers can create beneficial social impacts in addition to helping individual students succeed by focusing on these components.
