During pre-modern times when agricultural societies prevailed, in order to increase the supply of labor, couples often had many children. Because today large families are an economic burden rather than an economic asset, couples have fewer children. This explanation of family size is most consistent with the theory in sociology. A) conflict
B) functional
C) symbolic interaction
D) micro
E) institutional

Micro

Explanation:

The micro theory in sociology emphasizes on individuals and small groups; how they function and being able to use their structure to achieve success in the area of conflict and their business.

Family size explanation is considered based on the fact that the family refers to a small Institution, irrespective of how much they may be.

hello again!

a is your answer!

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
