The picture above is of New York City, one of the cities that most exemplifies the theory of Structural Functionalism. Many people think of New York as the city of dreams, because there are so many "stars" that live there. However, the truth is that New York would not be such a successful city if there weren't all kinds of people doing all sorts of jobs to make sure the city ran smoothly and was successful. This includes people with jobs ranging from janitors to retailers to big-time CEOs to Broadway stars.
Prom is one of the most traditional events in high school. The girls are expected to dress up in fancy dresses and get their hair and nails done and be doted on by their dates who asked them to the prom. They are given corsages and are treated as delicate ladies all night. Prom exemplifies the Feminist Theory because of the gender roles that are assigned to both the boys and girls.
Above is another picture of New York City, the city of dreams that is made successful only by everyone doing their individual part, no matter how insignificant it may seem. This is Structural Functionalism.
Another photo of New York City, where you can see an example of everyone doing their job, no matter how un-glamorous it may seem. Taxi drivers are the chauffeurs of the city. Without them, the city would struggle to function on the level it does daily.
Above is a picture taken at the San Francisco Gay Pride festival, during the parade. This image exemplifies the Queer Theory which proposes that categories of sexual identity are social constructs, and that no sexual category is deviant or normal. People who support gay pride most likely believe in the queer theory, and they believe that everyone, no matter what their sexual orientation, should be allowed the right to marry.
