Let’s assume that a “welfare stigma” exists in American society.  Many people have a perception that welfare recipients are “lazy” and that they “steal” the tax money.  People also believe that welfare recipients make babies to stay on welfare instead of working.  In fact, most welfare recipients are children, the elderly, the sick, the mentally and physically handicapped or young mothers with few skills. Explain why this “welfare stigma” exists by using TWO of the three sociological paradigms, structural functionalism, social conflict paradigm, and symbolic interactionism.
