1. How does functionalsim, conflict and interactionism apply to family unit ? What are the similarities? What are the differences?

Functionalism:

As applied to the family unit, functionalism would claim that each member of the family is interdependent and contributes to the functioning of the family as a whole. When all family members are playing their part and have good attitudes there is balance, peace and unity in the family. When any one member is rebelling against his/her role or responsibilities then the family as a whole suffers imbalance, stress, disunity and dysfunctional tendencies. Functionalists would also claim that the family will work best when each member has some power to agree or disagree with what is decided. By having input in decisions each member feels validated and the family can grow based on the idea of consensus rather than authoritarianism.
