Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

A macrolevel analysis examines whole societies, large-scale social

structures, and social systems instead of looking at important social

dynamics in individuals' lives. The functionalist and conflict perspectives

focus primarily on macrolevel analysis. By contrast, a microlevel analysis

focuses on small groups rather than on large-scale social structures. The

symbolic interactionist perspective focuses on microlevel analysis by

examining people's daytoday interactions and their behavior in groups.
