Conflict Theory/ week11/ 엄서영 Um seoyoung

1. Summary
Conflict theory assumes interaction, change, competition, structural inequality, degree of inequality, revolution, etc.
The key terms used in the theory of social conflict are class conflict, ideology, social class, deviance, proletariat, bourgeoisie and capitalism.A current example of conflict is social stratification.
According to the conflict theory, the structure of social classification suits the upper class to the lower class.Therefore, it is said that all societies were based on the conflict between oppression and repression classes.

2. What was interesting/what did you learn
The United States is known as a country that values equality, egalitarianism, meritocracy, effort and the pursuit of "American Dream," but it is interesting that social inequality is extremely high. These big inequalities are said to cause increased risk of violent crime and decreased educational opportunities.

3. Discussion point
Conflict theory says. Conflict and competition are inevitable because resources are economical. Is there any way to soften the growing conflict and competition?
