Can anyone explain to me what this question is asking? It's for a 5-page essay. "Describe the religious and educational institutions using the functionalist and conflict approaches."

It's asking you to describe the religious and educational institutions using the functionalist and conflict approaches, obviously, right? What you may be wondering, though, is, what's the functionalist and conflict approach?

Explanation:

Functionalism emphasizes the importance of social institutions for social stability and implies that far-reaching social change will be socially harmful. Conflict theory emphasizes social inequality and suggests that far-reaching social change is needed to achieve a just society.

{(Emphasizing is to give special importance or prominence to something in speaking or writing.)}

{(An institution is a society or organization found for a religious, educational, social, or other related type of purposes.)}

{(Prominence is being important or famous.)}

{(Implying is suggesting strongly the truth, the existence of something, or an idea.)}

{( Conflict is a type of argument that will need to be debated running through two or more people.)}

{(To just something is a form of equality.)}
