Answer to Question 1

A minority group may be larger than a majority group, as in the case of South Africa, where blacks vastly outnumber whites. The existence of a minority group implies the existence of a corresponding dominant group with greater power, wealth, and prestige, and the ability to exclude the minority group from full participation in the life of the society.

Answer to Question 2

Each of the basic perspectives - ecological, functionalist, interactionist, and conflict - focuses on different aspects of and asks different questions about social reality. None is complete in and of itself. Social life is so complex that no single set of theories can explain everything. Research that combines the insights of different perspectives greatly increases the understanding and predictive power of its observations.
