Functionalists- Functionalists believe that all members should be healthy at all times in order for society to run smoothly . In this scenario this is not the case as the children are suffering with permanent colds. Functionalists would disagree with this. If everyone was playing the sick ‘role’, then nothing would get done around the house and the children would not be cared for and could develop more illnesses s they are not being cared for properly.
Marxists- Marxists would say the government will help people in order for people to work in order to produce money for the capitalists to stay in the dominant position.
Interactionist's- Internationalists would say this family is saying they are ill, within conversations; when actually they aren't but this is what they have been telling each other so now they think they are when they could control it and are not really ill.
Feminists- Feminists would say that both of the parents should be out working, especially the male as they feel that society is male dominated. If Tamsela was expected to go out to work she would have to work a full day, then come home and care for her children which would cause stress levels to rise and more illness will occur as illness comes with high stress levels.
