How might you apply the three approaches to other social patterns such as workplace or family life?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We can apply the three approaches to other social patterns such as workplace or family life in the following way.

We are talking about the Sociological perspective of Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic interactionism.

If we apply these concepts to the workplace, we could say that Functionalism has to do with relationships between the members of the workplace, how they relate to each other in different scenarios. How people adapt to different circumstances. Conflict Theory regards to competition in the workplace, knowing that resources are scarce and many people want them. So there will always be some kind of internal competition for available jobs or promotions, and budget in the office. Then, Symbolic interactionism, that is the interaction "face to face" between the members of the company. How they express themselves when a situation needs to be addressed.

no because it could make the world a terrible place to live in.
