Theories

Recently in sociology we learned about the functionalist and conflict theory. Personally I do like functionalist theory better because it rewards the people with good money for working hard. With the conflict theory it is more of a communist situation. People are assigned a job, and get a set wage. I like the freedom that comes with the functionalist. We also learned about ascribed and achieved status. They both tie into the theory's because achieved is a status you must work for and ascribed status you are given to from the start (like communism) 

The saying "men make their own luck" was brought up in class yesterday. I do not believe that people make their own luck because something's can not be controlled. I believe that God has a plan for everyone and that he guides the path.
