Consider the following sociologists:
1. Pierre van der Berghe
2. Kingsley Davis
3. Melvin Tumin
4. Gerhard Lenski
Who among these sociologists attempted a reconciliation between the Marxist and the functionalist theories of social stratification?
1 and 2
2 and 3
1 and 4
3 and 4
- Pierre van der Berghe focused on ethnicity and social stratification, but did not attempt to reconcile Marxist and functionalist views.
- Kingsley Davis (with Wilbert Moore) proposed the functionalist theory of stratification, not its reconciliation with Marxism.
- Melvin Tumin critiqued Davis & Moore's theory but was not known for reconciling Marxist and functionalist theories.
- Gerhard Lenski is notable for attempting a reconciliation, especially in his work "Power and Privilege," where he integrated elements from both Marxist (emphasis on class and power) and functionalist (emphasis on functional necessity) theories.
Options explained:
- Option 1 (1 and 2): Incorrect, as neither tried the reconciliation.
- Option 2 (2 and 3): Also incorrect, both functionalist/critique.
- Option 3 (1 and 4): Only Lenski tried, not van der Berghe.
- Option 4 (3 and 4): Correct. Melvin Tumin critiqued functionalism and Lenski attempted a synthesis, so they are closest to reconciliation efforts.
