Which sociological perspective portrays contemporary education as basically benign—for example, it argues that schools rationally sort and select students for future high-status positions, thereby meeting society's need for talented and expert personnel? Group of answer choices

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is: the functionalist perspective.

Explanation:

In sociology, the functionalist perspective states that every institution plays a specific role in the maintance of society. According to this perspective, education is functional to society because it meets its needs of different type of workers and personnel; educational inequalities are not necessarily negative, since society needs workers in high-status positions but it also needs 'blue collar workers', therefore, contemporary education, from this perspective, plays its role in meeting society's needs.
