Statistics do show U.S. women on average make less money than men. Why do gendered gaps in pay and wealth exist? Simply put, I believe, they are the product of historically rooted gender biases that still thrive today. ]]> 2017-06-10 23:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/epicpants/kikbqcy3vagc/wish/175971000 Class Conflict ciaramboyd1999 https://padlet.com/epicpants/kikbqcy3vagc/wish/176006775 Class Conflict theory was developed by Karl Marx. He viewed society as a competition for limited resources such as power, and wealth. Class Conflict theory insists that social order is maintained by domination. Marx divided society into two teams, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie are the select few with power and wealth and the proletarians are the ones who are extorted by the bourgeoisie for their labor. Sociologists could use this theory to study minimum wage and the difference in pay between workers and powerful CEO's. ]]> 2017-06-11 18:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/epicpants/kikbqcy3vagc/wish/176006775 Structural Functionalism reimar_ag https://padlet.com/epicpants/kikbqcy3vagc/wish/176009648 Structural Functionalism explains our society by treating it in the way a biologist would study an organism. Let's take a moment and compare the major structures in society to the major structures in the human body: the organs. Like organs, they might all appear and act different, but their different functions help the whole of society (the human body in this example) function as intended and remain stable. If one structure begins to behave in a way that is not normal, it disrupts the stability of society. In much the same way, if an organ behaves in a way that is not normal, it puts your body in disarray. You don't feel stable, normal, and if you don't take care of it by seeing a doctor, soon other organs can fail as well. One topic that we could discuss using this theory is how government regulations affect the percentage of high school graduates that attend college. ]]> 2017-06-11 19:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/epicpants/kikbqcy3vagc/wish/176009648 Feminist theory https://padlet.com/epicpants/kikbqcy3vagc/wish/176016818 Studies the the approach of the difference in the way women are treated in education, work and even in public.

There for in the struggle the rich strive to keep the poor poor,  and thus keeping the power and authority.

This theory could be used to study the disparity between the steady rate of growth on inflation and how the minimum wage has remained the same for so
