Week 11 / Conflict Theory / hayoung lee 이하영

1. summary

 The basis of conflict theory was human evil nature and weakness. It has been believed that it is a physical punishment to be able to control such humans. Because humans are afraid of punishment or people who are stronger than themselves, humans have limited their behavior to prevent conflict and used this to maintain social order. This enduring society forms a monarchy that grants power to the monarchy. But as time goes by and society changes, intellectuals will emerge protesting against the coercive system. Then society will gradually be transformed by them into a democracy that aims for freedom and equality. In this process, conflict is always a necessary condition, and that is why our society is always in conflict.
 
2. What was interesting/ what did you learn?

 I think the reason why conflict is occurring and continued is because the weak are creating conflict to fight and express inequality. But rather, conflict theory was interesting to maintain policies that would operate for the social power elite, maintain stratification, and cause conflicts to control the poor. If we maintain stratification and carry on wealth, the class will be entrenched. Naturally, this will lead to an imbalance of wealth and cause various conflicts in society.
 
3. discussion point

 What can be done to eliminate or weaken the oppression of the socially privileged class, which causes various inequalities and conflicts in society? Shouldn't the privileged rather have a more conflict-free and stable social atmosphere than conflict-free theory to maintain their ranks?
