Hi
ReplyDeleteI would use conflict the most as it is what I use so much I both my workplace and my personal life. I like Marx as he appears to promote stepping out of your comfort zone and don' allow religious beliefs to stop you. I would like to learn more about the functionalist theory as I do not know a much about it. It appeals to me to be able to look at things in a different way rather than the way I am familiar with.
