What are the differences among the consensus, pluralistic and conflict perspectives?

Answer the question posed in the journal from an introspective position.  I am interested in what you think and believe about the question more than your ability to research and articulate another person's opinion.

Journal entries should be between 150-250 words.  

Prompt: What are the differences among the consensus, pluralistic and conflict perspectives? Which comes closest to your way of understanding society? Why?
