Theories and Rules

This week in class we learned about system theory, conflict theory, exchange theory, and symbolic interaction. Exchange theory is probably my favorite theory, because I like the idea that the cost of something needs to balance out with a reward, or else it's not worth keeping around. I really enjoyed are in class conversation on family mapping. As I was learning about family mapping, I was thinking of my own family and how I would map everyone according to the rules of family mapping.
