Describe the various dimensions of social conflict found in cities
What will be an ideal response?
Cities have long been characterized by conflict. There is conflict of lifestyle between the various ethnic groups and between the "decent" people and the "low life." Often there is fierce competition for jobs and other social resources between older residents and new immigrants. Social class differences between the haves and the have-nots are also a source of conflict. Perhaps the most common source of intergroup tension is racial differences.
