Answer to Question 1

Answer: b. Popular culture

Answer to Question 2

Feedback: The order model (functionalism or structural functionalism) describes society as ordered, stable, and harmonious, with a high degree of cooperation and consensus. Change is gradual and reforming. All parts of society are interdependent, which creates order and stability. The order model focuses on the functions and consequences of social structures and activities. Conflict model theorists view society as competitive, fragmented, and unstable. Social integration is minimal and tenuous. Social change, which can be revolutionary, results from clashes among conflicting groups. From this perspective, people are in competition for power and resources, and those with power take advantage of the powerless. The order and conflict models present extreme views of society. Taken alone, each fosters a faulty perception and interpretation of society. A realistic model of society combines the strengths of both models.
