3 Theories on Gender 1. Functionalist 2. Conflict 3. Symbolic Interaction

1.Functionalist: Male and female roles exist because they benefit society -We know what to do- no confusion -Traditional roles are changing today and causing dysfunction (Dads stay home, more divorces)

2. Conflict: Why do gender differences exist? -traditional roles are outdated -traditional roles no longer fit our technological society

3. Symbolic Interaction: How do we learn gender? -Parents -Child Care -School

Age Inequality Low regard for older people Discrimination and prejudice is justified - AGEISM

3 Theories of Ageism 1.Functionalist 2.Conflict 3.Symbolic Interaction

2. Conflict: Elderly people compete with other age groups for money, food, and jobs

3. Symbolic Interaction: Negative actions and attitudes of older people are products of socialization -We hear others make fun of elderly
