answer:

The most important societal task would be family. Family is the starting point for all societal tasks, which are: -socialization from birth to death -education from preschool to university -health and disease -work and leisure -economic inequality

So we all need to breath right. The social institution that allows us to breathe is the respiratory system. The respiratory system is a part of the body. It consists of stuff like the lung and rib cage, which are both organs. An organ allows you to do a task on its own which is breathing (they use oxygen and give off carbon dioxide). If a lung was not there we could not breathe and would die.

 

question:

Compare and contrast Davis and Moore’s functionalist perspective of social stratification with Mosca’s conflict perspective of social stratification. After your comparison, indicate which theory you agree with and why?
