1. Summary
This article explains about sociological theories. It explains definitions and limitations of some prominent sociological theories. Such as 'Structural-Functionalism', 'Conflict Theory', 'Symbolic Interactionism', 'Role Theory', 'Social Constructionism', 'Feminist Theory', and 'Integration Theory'. The purpose of sociological theories is to explain its social phenomena like suicide. However, one can not explain all social phenomena with one theory. So that's why there are so many theories like above. To understand the social world, it is necessary to adopt theories to draw the correlation between more than two concepts.
2. What was interesting
I was interested in 'Feminism Theory'. That is because this theory is often referred to as a lot of emphasis and prominence in our modern society. So, I guess I read it more carefully. This is newly I learned this time, feminism is divided into several positions, and each of them have different object.
3. Discussing point
Our society is constantly changing. So we must accept those changes. And we need to be changed accordingly. However, sociological theories are still in the past. Also it can be a problem in various parts of our society. Like us, they have to change as society changing.

I agree our society is constantly changing. But, sociological theories change too. Of course, steady theories are accepted from the past until now. However, theories that are inapplicable to current society are not mentioned and new theories for understanding current society are constantly arisen.
