The three theories

So this week in sociology we have been study on three theories that been discovered in the past couple years. The first one is Functional Analysis that stated by Emile Durkheim that says every person is being effected by groups around him. For example each and one of us is been effected by his family, friends, teachers, and other many other groups that around him, but each and one of us choose what to do with this influence. The second theory is Conflict Theory by Karl Marx. This theory explain that our life is somehow being effected or relates to money. For example if you will  study hard in school you will have a good job in the future, and if you have a good job you will have a higher salary, and higher salary means a lot of money. The third theory is Symbolic Interaction by Max Weber (or Veber). This theory explain that each individual have his on beliefs in life how to live them. For example the protestant believed that if they will live their life in a wealthy way that's how they are going to live their lives in the other world. How this theories relates to my life? I think the first theory is in her basics relates to everyone at the same way because everyone are influence by their parents, friends, teachers, and etc..., but also each and one of us have his group that influence him the most that makes him who he is. I think the thing that make me who I'm is that I care about the people in those groups that around me, so I can't really tell in what group I'm, but I can tell that from each group that around me I have some of its influence. The second is different and similar too because everyone want to be successful, but each one does it in his own way. The way I do it like a lot other is that I'm going to school everyday to work hard that in the future I will have better lives to live in a good job with a good paycheck every month. For the third theory I don't think I have something that relates to my own life. We also study this week about Social Construction of Reality or in other words is society/people created of experience. One of the things that helped us to understand this subject was an academic article that we were assigned to read called "Putting Teen-Parent Conflicts into Perspective" this article explain about how the old generation like our parents, grandparents, and etc... had a different life for being adult, they could support themselves in anything that relates to money, and how today teens have really hard time to mature up and accomplish who they want to be because of the old generation that consider you as a little kid even though you turn 18 years old. They don't let you the opportunity to grow up. Example from my lives is when I miss an assignment for one of the classes or if I don't do my homework the teacher calls or send a letter to my parents instead of talking to me first or letting me to deal with the consequences.
