Answer:

Conflict

Step-by-step explanation:

From a sociological point of view, conflict is characterized by a situation that is considered incorrect and generates a concern and disagreement about a certain issue that may or may not be commonplace. Tyson experienced a conflict because when he saw how access to technology is limited by the Chinese government, he felt it was wrong and was concerned about how technology reinforces inequalities between communities, within and between countries.
