Question

Mark, whose parents are wealthy, has been socialized to believe that he can be whoever he wants to be. His best friend Matt, whose parents are blue-collar workers, has been socialized to believe that hard work and following instructions is all he needs to support himself. Which sociological paradigm would be most interested in the relationship between these two young men?

Answer 1

Conflict Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The conflict theory, proposed by Karl Marx, argues that because of competition for limited resources, society is in a state of constant conflict.

This claims that, rather than consensus and agreement, social order is established by dominance and control.

As per the theory of conflict those with power and wealth are trying to hold on to it by any possible means, especially by eliminating the poor and vulnerable.
