39
Q

Case 1

A

Grand theory: Structural functionalism
 Society is a system of interrelated parts
 System components serve particular functions  System organized to meet needs of whole
 Structure: universal, persistent patterns of social relationships
 Functions: contributions of social structures to maintain stability of society
 Midrange Theory: Functionalism (Community, Culture, Economy, Polity & AGIL Model)
 6 groups used this approach in Discussion Question 9, Conventions / Norms – the types / differences / how they manifest / ‘enforced’
 Cognitive hierarchy (& component parts)
 Property rights & public powers (e.g. takings, eminent
domain)
 Endangered Species Act – what is its goal/objective, when it came about, what this means for citizens

40
Q

Case 2

A

Grand theory: Conflict theory
 Social systems are dominated by power
 Those in power (minority) seek to maintain position by taking advantage of majority
 Conflicts develop as oppressed act to take control (laborers rise up against those who control capital)
 Midrange theory: Social dilemmas
 Conflict between individual and collective
benefits/costs
 8 groups used this approach, Prisoners’ Dilemma & Multiple person dilemmas
 Tragedy of the Commons
 Views of G. Hardin and E. Ostrom (& proposed ‘solutions’
 Common Pool Resources
 Property regimes (private property, open access,
common property, state managed)
 Types of social dilemmas (traps & fences)
 The ‘free rider’

41
Q

Case 3

A

Grand theory: Symbolic interactionism
 Humans act toward things on the basis of the meanings they
 Meaning of such things is derived from, or arises out of, the social interaction that one has with others
 Meanings are handled in, and modified through, an interpretative process used by the person in dealing with the things he/she encounters
 Midrange theory: Social construction of nature
 Groups in society ascribe meaning to natural resources,
environmental issues, etc.
 Conflicts occur as the meanings differ between groups
 5 groups used this approach, Grand Theory – Symbolic Interactionism  Three basic premises
 “Human beings act toward things on the basis of the meanings they ascribe to those things.”
 “The meaning of such things is derived from, or arises out of, the social interaction that one has with others and the society.”
 “These meanings are handled in, and modified through, an interpretative process used by the person in dealing with the things he/she encounters.”
 Reality
 Social objects & symbols  Reading: Charon 1992
 Plato’s Allegory of the Cave  DVD: “Wolves in Paradise”
