1. Summary
This article said 'Sociological Theories'. Purpose of sociological theories is explain social phenomena. Our countries have many social phenomena(like suicide, population aging, political conflict, and so on). But, Only one theory could not explain every social phenomena. Necessarily, there are many sociological theories, too. This article show to us famous theories and their limit. Simply, 'Structural_functionalism' and 'Conflict Theory' are MACRO Objective. 'Role Theory' and 'Symbolic Interactionism' are MICRO Objective. Recently, new theories like 'Feminist Theory' and 'Integration Theory' have also appear. Sociological Theories are still developing now.
2. What was interesting
I'm interesting about 'Micro objective', especially 'Symbolic Interactionism'. In past, I think that society has already formed before people can interact with each other. But now, I know there are other sight of society. However, I also agree to symbolic interationism limitations. Sociology is not only explain present but also can predict future. I think that is the biggest problem in symbolic interationism.
3. Discussion Point
Today, society is changing every moment. Changing speed is fastest of all time. But Sociological theories didn't change. It retains old. Some sociological theories didn't match now. It is not only problem in sociology. Economics, Politics, Cultural Study are also face same problem. In this situation, sociological theory will continue to be useful? Of course, some theories are useful to understand 'SOCIETY ITSELF'. But I think that is all. I want to listen to other students opinions.

I think previous theories are not suitable that explains for modern society. So I think that we have to researched new theories which suitable for modern society.
