Theory:
A theory explains a phenomenon or presents a relationship that exists. It allows us to understand the nature of a certain phenomenon and the causal relationships that exist in it. Theories are testable and can be falsified( meaning they can be proved false). Newton’s law of gravity and Marx’s theory of class are some examples for theories.

Paradigm:
Unlike a theory, a paradigm is much broader. It refers to a theoretical framework. Just as theories, in all sciences, there are paradigms that work as frames of reference that help academics to channel their observations and findings. They are not very explicit as theories. It provides us with an outlook to understanding things.In Sociology, there are a number of paradigms also known as perspectives that help us to understand the society. For example, structuralism, functionalism and Marxism are some such paradigms.
