Answer to Question 1

 Structural-functional: some poverty is inevitable. Social pathology, social disorganization theories.
 Symbolic-interaction: defining the problem; blaming the victim
 Social-conflict: poverty can be eliminated. Karl Marx, multicultural theory
 Feminist: feminist theory, intersection theory

Answer to Question 2
