Questions: After weeks of protest in Zuccotti Park, NYC's "Occupy Wall Street" divided into two camps: one composed of higher income protestors, and one composed of lower-income protesters. A would be most interested in the relationship and nature of day-to- day exchanges between the two groups. Conflict theorist Structural functionalist Symbolic interactionist Feminist conflict theorist

The answer is Symbolic interactionist.

A conflict theorist would focus on the power dynamics and inequalities between the two groups, analyzing how economic disparities influence social structures and lead to conflict. However, they would not primarily focus on the day-to-day exchanges between the groups.

A structural functionalist would be more interested in how different parts of society contribute to the overall stability and functioning of the social system. They would likely focus on the role of the protest in society rather than the specific interactions between the two groups.

A symbolic interactionist would be most interested in the relationship and nature of day-to-day exchanges between the two groups. This perspective focuses on the meanings and interpretations that individuals attach to social interactions, making it the most relevant to understanding the micro-level interactions between higher and lower-income protesters.

A feminist conflict theorist would focus on gender inequalities and how they intersect with other forms of inequality, such as class. While they might be interested in the dynamics within the groups, their primary focus would not be on the day-to-day exchanges between the two income-based groups.
