+ Conflict Theory MACRO theory that explains inequalities. Most social theories try to explain society and how it works together Conflict Theory sets out to CRITICIZE society. ___________________________________________

+ Conflict Theory __________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ Early 1900s Karl Marx Bourgeoisie: Smallest, richest, most powerful group in society Control the livelihood of the poorer working people; proletariat Proletariat: The lower class in society, ruled by the Bourgeoisie Do we see examples of Bourgeois and Proletariats in today’s society?

+ Conflict Theory Marx predicted that the Bourgeoisie would become smaller and smaller, while getting richer and richer. The Proletariats would eventually get poorer and bigger, creating a bigger gap between them _____________________________________________ What did this lead to? _________________________

+ Conflict Theory and Family Relationships between men and women within a family is one of exploitation and oppression, and is used for analyzing power and authority within the family. Divisions between the sexes in marriage are similar to those divisions between the Bourgeoi and the Prolats Feminists think similarly _______________________________________________ Women would have no economic support without men
