Hello,  I "temporarily" forgot my socialogy teachings about looking at one thing from the different perspectives and explaining how 3 (or more) different people may explain the same phenomenon. Oops.

Interactionalist UMM small size allows every to get to know each other on an individual basis unlike other university's that have a large student population.

Functionalist UMM's small class size allows us to get more individual attention from the teacher enabling us to satisfy the requirements of the course better.

Conflict Alot of times because UMM only one section of each course is offered so it is hard to fit the classes you need into your schedule.

Interactionist: As students in this institution we bounce ideas and perspectives off one another. When we leave we are well-rounded and better equiped to deal with life and all that comes with it.

Functional: Whle at UMM we should be doing some self exploration in order to find out what we are good at, and where we fit in in the larger scheme of things. Do we want to lead, work alone, etc.

Conflict: Or, are we all here to get a degree so we can have a leg up on each other?

UMM

Interactionist--UMM is a good place to meet new people. They have many organizations you can join.

Functionalist--UMM's degree programs are great.  This will give you the opportunity to higher your education and get a better paying job.

Conflict theorist--The classes fill-up fast. You might be put on a waiting list and it there will be a fight for the opened slot.

Interactionist-- Someone would enroll to increase their social network. To meet new people and expand how many people they know.

Functionalist-- Someone who believes to higher their education and wants to have more knowledge of the college "world".

Conflictionist-- Someone who would enroll wanting to compete either academically or in athletics.

I don't think you're off on a tangent. Babbie, if I'm remembering correctly, had written about how it can be difficult for individuals to get "stuck" in one realm of thinking. I'm wondering if we all get different perceptions of things based on our own preferences? Our "home base" as it were? :)

For UMM, I thought up:

Interactionist--"Enrolling at UMM will allow you to meet new individuals that share your interests. Together you can share new experiences."

Functionalist--"Everyone should pursue a higher education to get on the higher salary job end of society. Studying at UMM will bring you money success!"

Conflict--"But what about bringing such a diverse group of people together into one small campus? Won't fights break out due to the differences?"

My view of this would be an interactionist could possibly see UMM as a place to interact with professors and expand their knowledge in different areas. A functionalist may see UMM as a place to go out to the bar, or different parties and meet new people and expand their social network. A confictionist may see UMM as a place to compete with other people in different areas whether it be academic or sports related.

I am intrigued by tammy's view that a functionalist would view UMM as a place for socialization and networking. That is true. A functionalist would view socialization as necessary and serving a purpose. Which leads me to my belated point. All of the answers would be correct (according to which paradigm is used) and they are interchangeable, according to which lens you are looking through. Anyone think this, or am I off on a tangent?
