3 major paradigms: 
They are structural functionalism (Émile Durkheim), conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism (Max Weber).  To which [American philosopher George H. Mead (1863–1931) introduced this - symbolic interactionism - perspective to American sociology in the 1920s.]*1 

1. structural functionalism (Émile Durkheim)
   asssumption: society is seen as a complex
                system whose parts „work together“
                to promote „stability“ and „social order“.
    parts like „social structure“, 
               „social function“, and
               „social dysfunction“
   structural functionalism is also known as Functionalism*1
   focus:  relationship between the parts of society;
           how aspects of society are functional (adaptive)*1

2. conflict theory
   conflict theories imagine society is being
   composed of different groups that struggle
   over scarce resources like power, money, land, food or status.
     2.1  class conflict  (Karl Marx)
          [Klassenkamf - class struggle]
           a class is a group of people with similar
           relationship to the means of production. 
           production is how stuff get made and service provided.  
     2.2  race-conflict theory (W. E. B. Du Bois)
     2.3  gender-conflict theory
   focus:  competition for scarce resources;
           how the elite control the poor and weak*1 

3. symbolic interactionism (Max Weber)
   this school of thought is interested in understanding
   the shared reality that people create through their
   interactions
   focus:  use of symbols; face-to-face interactions*1

a paradigm is like a conceptual lens that "colors" everything we see / perceive. In this video, Doron illustrates the magnitude of paradigm with metaphors and analogies.

p.186
1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

p.187
Think of paradigm as a “bundle of Good Ideas” that allows scientists to explain some things that have always been mysterious.15

p.187
The “Good Ideas” of a paradigm give the scientist his or her foundations, and, consequently, scientists commit themselves to a paradigm with considerable fervor.
   The collection of all scientific paradigms, then, forms a kind of network of Good Ideas glued together and fixed in place by scientists' collective commitment to it.

p.187
The most obvious paradigms are the most basic Good Ideas: quantum thoery, relativity, the theory of evolution, and the like. But there are countless smaller Good Ideas that fill in the network as well, ideas that have proved themselves  somewhere along the line, and instruct scientists on how to solve certain kinds of equations, or what kinds of experimental procedures give good results. All these ideas together form the core structure at the heart of science, the “accepted scientific view of the nature of things” to which Polanyi had referred.
   But the main project of science is to learn more--that is, to make the network of good ideas more dense and complete. If science is about learning, then this network can hardly remain fixed, and Kuhn identified two basic but essentially contrasting ways by which it can change.
