Define the conflict perspective and discuss two of the big ideas associated with it.

What will be an ideal response?


The conflict perspective emphasizes conflicts that arise because of inequalities in the distribution of resources. Power relationships are a major focus of this perspective. Oppression of nondominant groups leads to alienation, a sense of indifference and hostility. Conflict theory has also birthed critical theory, which notes that workers have been conditioned by mass media to be consumers, sometimes taking on an excessive workload in order to do so.
