Diss Part 4

Social conflict theory views society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and social change. It argues that society is structured in ways to benefit a few at the expense of the majority, creating inequality based on factors like race, sex, class, and age. Conflict theory has been used to explain a wide range of social phenomena including wars, wealth, discrimination, revolutions, and poverty. Karl Marx is considered the father of social conflict theory and argued that history is driven by class conflict between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
