First Question (Concentric Zone Model Critique)
Conflict theorists focus on power struggles and class dynamics. The concentric zone model’s critique from a conflict perspective would relate to class - based changes like gentrification. The first option is about business - residential overlap (more of a functionalist or urban planning critique), the third about parks (not a conflict - related issue), the fourth about city planning (not conflict - focused). The second option, about gentrification (certain classes taking over neighborhoods), aligns with conflict theory’s emphasis on class conflict in urban development.
- Reform movements aim to change within the existing system (e.g., policy reforms).
- Resistance movements oppose social change (here, opposing gay marriage laws and LGBTQ+ rights progress).
- Alternative movements offer new lifestyles (not relevant here).
- Revolutionary movements seek to overthrow the system (not the case here). The National Organization for Marriage is opposing the expansion of rights for LGBTQ+ people, so it's a resistance movement.
