Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "both/and" perspective allows for the acknowledgment of societal changes over time (e.g., from conservative to liberal) while also recognizing the consistency in behavior among groups (e.g., Introductory Sociology students) across time. This perspective appreciates the complexity of social phenomena, recognizing that multiple, seemingly contradictory observations can coexist.
