Social Conflict Theory

Social Conflict Theory is a framework for understanding society that emphasizes the struggles and tensions between different groups, particularly those defined by class, race, or power. It argues that social structures and institutions often reflect and reinforce inequality, where the interests of the dominant group overshadow those of marginalized groups. This theory suggests that social change happens through conflicts over resources, rights, and power, highlighting the need for awareness and action against injustices. It encourages us to examine how power dynamics shape our social experiences and relationships.
