Consider a current social trend that you have witnessed, perhaps situated around family, education, transportation, or finances. for example, many veterans of the armed forces, after completing tours of duty in the middle east, are returning to college rather than entering jobs as veterans as previous generations did. choose a sociological approach—functionalism, conflict theory, or symbolic interactionism—to describe, explain, and analyze the social issue you choose. afterward, determine why you chose the approach you did. does it suit your own way of thinking? or did it offer the best method to illuminate the social issue?
