Answer: The social conflict theorists looking for in a modern society relations on a consensus rather than a conflict.
Explanation: The theory of social conflict is Marxist theory, which basically claims that society is in constant conflict. This conflict arises due to competition created by capitalist relations, resulting in a constant struggle for limited resources, which are a prerequisite for capitalist relations in production and in the market. Thus, all individuals and groups will act in a confrontation with each other in order to achieve certain resources. According to the advocates of this theory, individuals and groups should act on the basis of a harmonized consensus rather than a conflict. Thus, the social order would have been maintained on conformity and consensus, and not on a conflict like the one in a capitalist society.
