Answer 1

Conflict

Step-by-step explanation:

In general terms, we can see that sociological perspectives focus on two opposing themes: While the structural or functionalist approach views society as composed of varios parts, having each a function that when fullfilled , it makes a contribution to the society's equilibrium.

The kurds have a long history as ethnic group , being in middle east. Bein identified themsevles apart from Arabic majorities and having a more progressive , secular, and western orientation, they fail still to be recognized as a state nation.

This is why Conflict theorists would argue in the case of Kurds:

Why the society has failed or why kurds have not been assimilated and giving a function and meaning?

Then they would see society as divided into groups each with different power and resources that are in a dynamic of constant struggle and exploit with one another (Turkey vs Kurds)
