What will be an ideal response?
• The canon is defined as the theories, ideas, and texts that--at least in the past--have been considered the most important in the field of sociology.
• Critics have argued that the canon is not a neutral construction; rather, it is affected by political factors such as power and the politics of the theory (conservative theories are more likely to be canonized). It privileges theories that have testable hypotheses and theories produced by majority group members.
• Today, the sociological canon is incorporating theories that are more diverse.
