D

Answer to Question 2

The student should indicate that structural-functional theorists view reproduction as central to the order and stability of society, which cannot exist without replacing its members. Society attempts to regulate sexual activity and reproduction to help maintain family ties and legal, health, and property rights. However, contrast theorists view women as being held primarily responsible for controlling reproduction as most birth control technology is for women's use. The politics of sex and reproductive technology favor men over women, according to conflict theorists. Additionally, they point out that poorer women have less opportunity to employ reproductive technologies. Conflict theorists say that sex education reflects a competition for scarce resources, whereby poorer schools cannot provide adequate information for their students, and disagreement among major social institutions concerning sex education curriculum. Symbolic interactionists say that reproduction has different meaningsday-to-day interactions create meaning and cultural values regarding having children. They also say that interactions with peers, family, and friends along with one's socialization affect decisions concerning reproduction.
