The divorce rate in the United States quadrupled over the twentieth century, from less than 1 per 1,000 people in 1900 to 4 per 1,000 in 2000. Although declining in recent decades, the rate today is still 3 times higher than it was in 1900. Explain this dramatic change in social arrangements over the 20th century in the view of each of the three sociological perspectives: Functionalist Theory, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism. Include in your answers the primary drivers of social change emphasized by each perspective. In the coming decades, do you think the divorce rate will continue to fall, flatten out, or rise again, and why? Use one or two paragraphs for your answer.
PLEASE ANSWER!!! I'm very overwhelmed with schoolwork right now.
