The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The perspective, or paradigm, that I think is the most interesting way to view and observe social interactions is the following.

I consider that the most interesting perspective is the functionalist perspective. This perspective sees every aspect of society as an independent component that when joined together with the other components, makes society function as a whole. All the elements of society play an important role or exert a key function that can be related to other functions.

Some sociologists have established the concept of the social contract to show that these social components should be in balance in order for society to work well.

Members of society share norms, customs, perceptions, and ideas and intermingle respecting and being tolerant with all of these ideas.
