Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conflict theory and structural functionalism were the midcentury theoretical traditions that came under attack in the 1960s. Conflict theory was criticized for ignoring the social forces that create inequality, while structural functionalism was criticized for being too optimistic about the ability of society to resolve conflicts and maintain stability. These criticisms led to the emergence of new theoretical perspectives such as critical theory, feminist theory, and postmodernism.
