The three main types of perspective in sociology are: (1) The symbolic interactionist perspective, which directs sociologists to look ad symbols and everyday life to discover deeper meanings about interactions; (2) The functionalist perspective, which says that all aspects of society are interdependant and depend upon one another towards the overall functioning of the societal system; and (3) The Conflict Perspective, which focusses on the stuggles, inequality and conflicts within society.
