Part One
The purpose of this assignment is to explain about the research dissertation taken and the theoretical perspectives that could be used and how they can be linked into the dissertation, and to explain the methods taken to bring the whole thing together. All theoretical perspectives (de Mont, 2010) are an assortment of assumptions, values and ideas that enable the researcher or reader to reach an outcome from various outlooks. It will also explore the research methods that may be used.

Behaviours between humans can be seen as reciprocal; ‘The action of one can only be analyzed by reference to the action of others, since the two are part of a system of interaction that constrains both’. Actions carried out can be analysed and conclusions made rightly or wrongly. Hence, after demonstrating the contrary, Simmel (1977), deemed that domination is a form of interaction. (Coser, 1977:183-188.)
From an Ontologist point of view, the Interactionist looks at the behaviour of the human, and whether that behaviour is learnt or natural behaviour. The author believes this could be true either way in most cases, and will seek to discover how true this point of view is and whether the behaviour is learnt or natural.
On the other hand, the author could be looking from a Functionalist theory. Durkheim (1895) believed that society understands sociology as a science; therefore, humans have thoughts, feeling and actions. These determine people as individuals with their own minds and characters. Behaviours were likened to the collective and were determined... [continues]
