-Durkheim’s functionalism says that society is always slowly fixing its own problems to remain stable. Provide an example that might be proof of this, of a social problem (like poverty, violence, discrimination, climate change, etc.) that seems to “work itself out” over time. What was the end result? Is society stronger, more stable? Why or why not?
-Recall that a key idea of Weber’s interactionism was that people invent practices and laws with good intentions, but those things can get out of control and have some unanticipated results. Provide your own example of a law that you think was designed with good intentions, but ended up producing some unexpected and bad outcomes.
