This helps to explain events of social change in how it focuses on the things we see day to day causing changes.

Conflict Theory

Intersectionality Theory

Intersectionality examines how different forms of discrimination overlap, such as race, gender, and class. It also emphasizes that the lives of people are multifaceted and encourages an understanding of how one's social location interacts in a larger context of power structures therefore, helping to explain how social change can happen.

Cognitive Theory

Feminist Theory
