The standpoint theory was created by Sandra Harding and Julia Wood and was defined “a place from which to critically view the world around us. In this theory, it is known that many people in the society have different viewpoint about life and how they should live in it. The principle of standpoint is that it shapes our world view of the world around us. A good example of this would be someone from the lower class moving into the middle class, but having a lower class mindset about the world around them. Another example, would be two people from different background that have different viewpoint on the world around them.

Example: Uncle phil and Will disagree on on how to acting in a party environment.
