Another role of schools, according to functionalist theory, is that of sorting, or classifying students based on academic merit or potential. Do CEOs of corporations really need to make millions of dollars per year to get enough qualified people to become CEOs? The French sociologist mile Durkheim (18581917), who established the academic discipline of sociology, characterized schools as socialization agencies that teach children how to get along with others and prepare them for adult economic roles (Durkheim 1898). These different interests in turn lead to different views on important social issues. A. Collins, R. (1994). People who engage in socially problematic behaviors often learn these behaviors from other people. One way societies strive to put values into action is through sanctions: rewards and punishments that encourage people to live according to their societys ideas about what is good and right. Their work inspired the later development of conflict theory in sociology. The conflict perspective emphasizes that education reinforces inequality in the larger society. Coming from the viewpoint that we learn, or at least desire, how to expect other people's reactions/responses to things, Bruce Link and his colleagues studied how expectations of the reactions of others can affect the mental illness stigma. 2, pp. And when boarding a commuter train in Mumbai, passengers must squeeze into overstuffed cars amid a lot of pushing and shoving on the crowded platforms.

Depending on how they are identified, children are taught at the level that is thought to suit them best. Its roots lie in the work of early 1900s American sociologists, social psychologists, and philosophers who were interested in human consciousness and action. Mead argued that people's selves are social products, but that these selves are also purposive and creative, and believed that the true test of any theory was that it was "useful in solving complex social problems". Thus, human interaction is mediated by the use of symbols and signification, by interpretation, or by ascertaining the meaning of one another's actions. This concept of meaning is what starts to construct the framework of social reality. (Original work published 1867). Additionally, some theorists have a problem with symbolic interaction theory due to its lack of testability. In other words, it is a frame of reference to better understand how individuals interact with one another to create symbolic worlds, and in return, how these worlds shape individual behaviors.
