sociology questions

I’m studying for my Sociology class and need an explanation.

• Who is the father of Sociology (19th century and not from the earlier decades)? Why do they call him the “father” of sociology?
• Define and summarize these three sociological theoretical perspectives/paradigms:

1. Functionalism
2. Conflict Theory
3. Symbolic Interactionism

1. Name the three well-known sociologists who are associated with these three paradigms.
