Answer:

a. Occupy Wall Street is positive; our capitalist economy is only making social inequality grow larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict theory states that tensions and conflicts occur when wealth, prestige, and power are distributed unevenly among groups within society and these conflicts created environment for social change. The theory is deeply rooted in Karl Marx's philosophy, which centered on the causes and consequences of the (proliferate) class conflict between the capitalist and working class.
