Lyrics
(Verse 1 - Functionalism)
In the fabric of society, we find a design,
Functionalism's theory, it's intertwined.
Durkheim's vision, social order's the goal,
Integration and cohesion, to make us whole.
(Chorus)
Functionalism, it's the glue that binds,
Institutionalized norms, in our minds.
From Marx's critique to Durkheim's view,
In the grand tapestry, we find our hue.
(Verse 2 - Conflict Theory)
But beneath the surface, a different tale,
Conflict theory's voice, it shall prevail.
Marx's analysis, class struggle's song,
In capitalism's grip, where we belong.
Division of labor, the rich and the poor,
Inequality's dance, at society's door.
Conflict and tension, in the air we breathe,
As power dynamics shape what we perceive.
(Chorus)
Functionalism, it's the glue that binds,
Institutionalized norms, in our minds.
From Marx's critique to Durkheim's view,
In the grand tapestry, we find our hue.
(Verse 3 - Symbolic Interactionism)
Amidst the fray, another theory stands,
Symbolic interactionism, in human hands.
Mead's perspective, it's all about the dance,
Symbols and meanings, in every glance.
Interaction's the key, in the social sphere,
Creating reality, far and near.
Through language and symbols, we define our roles,
In the theater of life, where each soul unfolds.
(Chorus)
Functionalism, it's the glue that binds,
Institutionalized norms, in our minds.
From Marx's critique to Durkheim's view,
In the grand tapestry, we find our hue.
(Bridge)
So in the symphony of sociology's tale,
Weaving theories together, we shall prevail.
From function to conflict, and symbols that gleam,
In understanding society, we find our dream.
(Outro)
For in Marx, Durkheim, and Mead's profound view,
We glimpse the essence of what's true.
In capitalism's grip, in division's labor,
Sociology's journey, we shall savor.
