Theories Emplained

Humanism Theory

Humanism Theory utilizes how individuals view both themselves and the world around them to determine their outlook and it emphasizes both the uniqueness of individuals and the ability for people to choose their own qualities and attributes. This helps to explain events of social change in how having this freedom would allow people to work better together.

Cultural Materialism Theory

This theory explains that most aspects of human culture can be explained in material terms. It states that environment, resources, technlogy and other material things are the major influences cultural change. This helps to explain events of social change in how it focuses on the things we see day to day causing changes.

Conflict Theory

Conflict Theory is opposing powers or groups are in conflict until the more dominant one overpowers the rest. This helps to explain events of change as it explains the real reason events such as war broke out.

Intersectionality Theory

Intersectionality examines how different forms of discrimination overlap, such as race, gender, and class. It also emphasizes that the lives of people are multifaceted and encourages an understanding of how one's social location interacts in a larger context of power structures therefore, helping to explain how social change can happen.

Cognitive Theory

Conflict theory states that people can learn by simply observing others which may or may not change their behavior immediately or over a period of time. This can explain social change as the behaviors of people can be changed by watching others make the changes they want to see

Feminist Theory

Feminist theory is concerned with both equality and equity between sexes. This can explain social change as the theory is based off historical events such as the sufferage and libration movements.

Structural Functionalist Theory

Structural Functionalist Theory states that all parts of society need to work together in order for success to be achieved. This can explain social change as sometimes in order to make a change people of all types need to come together to make it happen.
