Social Conflict Theory By: Johanna Villalobos, Angelica Real, Vinny Lauro

What is the main element of social conflict? Society is structured in ways to benefit few at the expense of the majority, and factors such as race, sex, class, and age are connected to social inequality.

Karl Marx is considered the 'father' of social conflict theory.

His thoughts… Marx believed there are two major social groups: a ruling class and a subject class: you either own the productive property or you work for someone who does. The ruling class derives power from its ownership and control of the forces of production. The ruling class exploits and oppresses the subject class

But there’s more.. This clash between the owners and the workers was at the heart of his thinking. Moreover, Karl Marx’s way of thinking is considered to be the core of social conflict; which is the struggle between groups in society over scarce resources.

Why does it exist? To a social conflict theorist, it is all about dominant group versus minority group and society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and social change. Also, according to conflict theory inequality exists because those in control of disproportionate share of resources defend their advantages.

Does it still exist today?

North Korea In North Korea everything revolves around Kim Jong, all finances he pumps into the military leaving his citizens to starve Kim Jong classifies people as those who are "with us" or "against us" and the people that are "with us" are loyal to Kim Jong A lot of people are poor and starving and live in poverty due to corrupt government and their officials. Therefore, government officials are the wealthy ones while average citizens are classified as lower class. Therefore, government officials are the wealthy ones while average citizens are classified as lower class.

This wide gap between wealthy government officials and regular citizens causes conflict whether it is economically and how it affects them in a day to day situation or the basic natural rights they deserve.
