Conflict Theory

summary

 Conflict theory begins with the uneven distribution of goods. Resources are always limited, but a lot of people in need.  So conflict occurs.  Conflict theories are perspectives in sociology that emphasize the social, political, or material inequality of a social group, that critique the broad socio-political system, or that otherwise detract from structural functionalism and ideological conservativism. Conflict theories draw attention to power differentials, such as class conflict, and generally contrast historically dominant ideologies. It is therefore a macro level analysis of society. Karl Marx is the father of the social conflict theory, which is a component of the 4 paradigms of sociology. Certain conflict theories set out to highlight the ideological aspects inherent in traditional thought. Whilst many of these perspectives hold parallels, conflict theory does not refer to a unified school of thought, and should not be confused with, for instance, peace and conflict studies, or any other specific theory of social conflict.

opinion

   I think the cause of the conflict is inequality of wealth and power.  Power and wealth and poverty is inheritance. This cycle will repeat itself. Karl Marx  believed the only way to stop this cycle is  proletariat's revolution.  However, in order for this problem is solved, contradiction fundamental in social structure must be solved. The cause of conflict occurs is not possible to say definitively correlated. This is a result of complex causes.

question

  I want to know about interconnectedness of social phenomena.
