Structural functionalist: how these institutions work to maintain equilibrium structure that affects people intimately and directly, all of our institutions and structures have a function. Marxist: essential class differences between owners of the production and the proletarians. Positive approaches: empirical realities we can understand in the human minds, can measure, and mirror back into research. Research accurately reflect what is happening in society: interpretive paradigm. Hold that all phenomenon is subject to interpretation and re-description.

We are still interpreting that ourselves (we put our understanding in a sentence) when communicating it with others.
