Answer:

conflict

Step-by-step explanation:

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

It argues that, rather than agreement and conformity, social order is maintained by domination and authority.

As per the theory of conflict, those with power and wealth attempt to hold on to it by any means possible, primarily by suppressing the poor and disadvantaged.
