Thekeyto doing well with this assignment isyour ability to applysociological theories under review in this class – structural functionalism, conflict and/or symbolic interactionism – to your chosen TV show. Below I offer you examples of such application as such relates to the sitcom, “The Ranch.”

Symbolic Interactionism:

In “The Ranch” characters regularly refer to themselves as rednecks; all of the characters are ethnically white, and this sitcom is staged in rural setting. These factors connect to symbolic interactionism.

Structural Functionalism:

In “The Ranch” the dad continuously complains about the need for his sons to put more effort into ranching chores. This factor connects to structural functionalism.

Conflict:

In “The Ranch” the sons want to use more modern ways to ranch, but dad is wed to the old ways. As dad is the patriarch of the family, very much used to doing things his way, this factor relates to conflict.
