society members in understanding social and cultural aspects (Burrell, 2017).
Socialisation theory: Sociology is a process learning about ways of behaving in a manner that can be accepted

an environment and society. In societies where people with different background and culture live, helps them
in knowing that how people create meanings and respond to word design.
Functionalism: It is a theory of all about the nature of mental state. It helps society members in knowing
reasons as why people are reacting like this and by knowing this, they can motivate and take actions
accordingly (Combs and et.al., 2020).
Conflict theory: This theory in societies focus on the competition and politics among people over limited

others and living collaboratively.

resources that build sustainability into their projects/activities. Your answer should use a real
world example for both.

that there are going to be higher performance for human kind for a long run.

goes to the societies benefit which is going to make the stability and growth be present.
