There are 3 macrosystem theories that were discussed in class. The first is the conflict theory which basically says that we are always in conflict and there will always be a winner/loser. Engels wrote a book about the family and the state, and talked about how hunter-gatherers turned into agricultural society. Then to fix sexual exclusivity and transfer of wealth, they got married.
The next macrosystem theory is feminism. Feminism has been around since the 20th century and is forever changing its view. So far there are 4 waves of feminism, and I am sure there will be more to come. The fourth wave is interesting to me because it is about a global effort to build peace. Which I thought was the view or other theories, and even some political parties.
The final macro-system theory is the ecological theory which talks about the balance of society and its need to balance itself out.
If I could add a theory it would be the hippie theory. This theory would talk about the importance of relaxation and meditation. It would ensure that everyone got a massage once a week for free! Society would value the importance of kindness, and open mindedness. Society would also value the land, and put a complete end to drugs and alcohol except marijuana! :)
