Conclusion

In conclusion, it is believed to some extent that the Caribbean in the present day is characterized by a serious of unwillingness to accept the views, beliefs or behaviour that may differ from one’s own and having a lack of trust at all levels. In this blog, the issues of grave intolerance and mistrust in the Caribbean was discussed for the following: religion, family and justice system, by using the following perspectives: conflict, functionalist and feminist. The fuctionalist perspective of family is where the family carries out four functions: emotional support, socialization, economic and reproductive, while the feminist perspective of family is where women are expected to raise the children along with looking after the household. The functionalist perspective of religion is where religion serves as a function of teaching the people what is right and what is wrong. Along with religion being important for someone who is undergoing a life crisis. While the conflict perspective believes that religion promotes social inequality and social conflict among the people which may cause violence with different religions. The functionalist perspective of the justice system is where the justice system provides protection for the citizens and allows laws to be created in ways to deal with those law breakers or criminals in society by sharing of values from different cultures. The conflict perspective is when the justice system is used to oppress and exploit the lower class; while the upper class takes advantage of the justice system.
