How many sociological perspectives are there?

  1. 3

  2. 4

  3. 5

  4. 6

The correct answer is: 4

There are four major sociological perspectives functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, and feminist theory. Functionalism focuses on how society functions as a whole, while conflict theory examines social inequalities and power dynamics. Symbolic interactionism looks at how individuals shape and are shaped by society through their daily interactions. Feminist theory focuses on gender inequalities and issues of gender oppression. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they either underestimate or overestimate the number of sociological perspectives. Option A is incorrect because it only includes three perspectives and omits feminist theory. Option C is incorrect because it adds an additional perspective that is not considered a major sociological perspective. Option D is incorrect because it overestimates the number of sociological perspectives.
