Answer:

Conflict Perspective

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict theory, as a sociological perspective, is a theory propounded by Karl Marx, and it explains that society is always in a state of perpetual conflict, due to inevitable competition among individuals in the society which is as a result of limited resources.

It concluded that social order is however maintained by domination and power, rather than consensus and conformity.

For example, conflict theory, suggested that, those with wealth and power always ensure to retain it by all means, such that they suppress the less privileged and those at lower ladder of the society.

Another basic example of conflict theory is that individuals and groups within society will work to maximize their own benefit such as men, as the dominant gender, will subordinate women in order to maintain power and privilege in society.

Answer:

Conflict perspective.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is curled or drafted from Karl Marks works which talks about causes an consequences of the elite or higher beings in the societies against the lower or those in the poorer levels.

Conflict theory talks about tensions and conflicts arising when resources, status, and power are unevenly distributed between groups in society and that these conflicts become the engine for social change. Here, power can be seen as control of material resources and accumulated wealth, control of politics and the institutions that make up society, and one's social status relative to others which are not only by class but by race, gender, sexuality, culture, and religion, among other things.
