4. feminist perspective
Example -- I'll explain/describe prostitution from each perspective.
Functionalism: Prostitution creates jobs for law enforcement. It gives otherwise unemployable women a way to support themselves.
Conflict: Prostitutes are typically females controlled by male pimps. Males have power over the prostitutes, their money, and their well-being.
Interactionist: How do you know who is a prostitute? Prostitutes can be identified by their appearance In some cases. The clothes they wear, their make-up and hair, and the way they posture themselves can be signs of their status.
Feminist: Women are exploited by their pimps. They turn over their money and are subject to the pimp. BUT, another feminist version might go like this -- Prostitution gives women the freedom to control their own bodies. It can be a means to independence (if there is no male pimp involved).
