The Breakfast Club “The Breakfast Club,” was a movie that focused on teen’s behavior in high school, and their behavior with each other. In the movie five very different teenagers were forced to associate, and be exposed to each other, while serving eight-hours of confinement in detention. Each student was from a certain clique, or group in the high school atmosphere, such as the princess (Claire Standish), jock (Andrew Clark), nerd (Brian Johnson), troublemaker (John Bender), and basket case (Allison Reynolds). To make matters worse they had to be dictated by a troubled school official, who many of them eventually clashed with. Going into this situation they had know idea what they were getting into, but they ended up having more in common then what they thought. This movie can relate to more than one of the Sociological Theories, and by asking me to choose one, is asking for an incomplete paper. I believe “The Breakfast Club,” has Conflict theory in the beginning, when pertaining to the fighting between Bender, the teacher, Allison, and Andrew. Yet in the ending of the movie it all ties up with functionalist theory, because they eventually understand one another.
