Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which sociological perspective asserts that the richest, most powerful members of society decide who is and who is not considered deviant?

A	Functionalism
B	Conflict Theory
C	Symbolic Interactionism
D	Structuralism

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Sociologists who follow the functionalist approach are concerned with the way the different elements of a society contribute to the whole. They view deviance as a key component of a functioning society.

Detailed explanation-2: -The conflict perspective looks at deviance in terms of social inequality and power. The most powerful members of a society determine who will be regarded as deviant. Conflict theorists point to some disproportional statistical relationships between minorities and crime.

Detailed explanation-3: -In conflict theory, deviant behaviors are actions that do not comply with social institutions. The institution’s ability to change norms, wealth, or status comes into conflict with the individual. The legal rights of poor folks might be ignored, while the middle class side with the elites rather than the poor.
