Blaming working women for their children's behaviour when they engage in social deviance would be associated with which theoretical perspective?

A) Conflict theory
B) Functionalism
C) Symbolic interactionism
D) Feminist theory

Blaming working women for their children's behavior would be associated with functionalism because it reinforces the idea of traditional gender roles where women are primarily responsible for the care and socialization of children. Functionalism emphasizes the importance of social order and stability, and views social deviance as a threat to the functioning of society. Blaming working women for their children's behavior would be a way to maintain social order by reinforcing traditional gender roles and placing responsibility for children's behavior on mothers.
