Write an essay identifying from which one of the three major perspectives (functionalism, conflict, or symbolic interaction) this program seems to draw most of its basis and major assumptions. In other words, which perspective seems to be primarily guiding this program? Ch. 6 in the Ritzer book may be helpful to review.

Write two more paragraphs in which you explore how the social problems behind this program would be addressed and interpreted by each of the other two major theoretical perspectives. For instance, if you determine that the program is primarily guided by ideas from the functionalist perspective, then you would address how the conflict and symbolic interaction perspectives would address these problems.
