Directions:
Write an essay fully arguing your response to the following multipart question. Be assured that there is no right or correct answer. But be aware that there are poorly or only partially thought out and argued answers.
Question:
A theory or theoretical perspective is like a pair of colored glasses. If your lenses are pink, everything you observe will appear pinkish; if blue, blueish, and so forth. Marx, Weber and Durkheim each has a different perspective, a pair of glasses of a different color through which they see and understand the social world. Therefore,
How would Marx, Weber and Durkheim differently see or interpret the situation portrayed in the video13th by Ava DeVernay, which you can access either on Netflix or YouTube? How would each theorist differently explain how this situation came about? What would each theorist prescribe to fix this situation? In answering these questions, be as specific as you can about the theory and about the video — cite details from both.
In your opinion, which theorist would best understand the causes of the situation, the character of the situation and the solution for the situation portrayed in the video. Fully argue and justify your choice.
