How do I use the different sociological perspectives in a specific question?

If an essay (24 mark) question is asking you about a specific concept from a certain perspective it is always a good idea to include another perspective to demonstrate you ability to evaluate (A03/A04).For example - Using material from Item 1B and elsewhere, assess the functionalist view of the role of the socialisation process.I would advise you discuss the functionalist view, but also consider other views - such as marxist, feminist; what do they think of socialisation? How does this interact with functionalism (support/disagree?) What does this mean for the answer?
