Core Assessment: Sociological Imagination Sociology Abstract This paper will use the sociological perspective to discuss problems and issues in society. I will then discuss major theoretical perspectives that best explain these problems and issues and what some of the cultural components and elements contribute to the causes, effects and/or solutions to these problems. To sum up the first portion of this paper I will identify and discuss the relationship of the socialization process to the issue/problem, causes and solutions and what agents of socialization are important.

Functionalists see society as made up of inter-dependent sections which work together to fulfill the functions necessary for the survival of society as a whole. People are socialized into roles and behaviours which fulfill the needs of society.

This approach utilizes empirical data to speculate what needs, or social facts, contribute to maintaining a social system.
