Brief description |
Conflict theory explains scientifically the general contours of conflict in society, including how conflict starts and varies. The primary role of conflict theory is the unequal distribution of scarce resources and power (Coser 216). To research a literary work can go through various theoretical approaches, one of which is sociology. According to Stolley in the book entitled The Basics of Sociology, sociology is a study of human life in socializing and focuses on how social interactions are formed, changed, and their influence on human life (1).Conflict theory sees society as consisting of social relations defined by inequality and change. Which means a certain group will constantly compete for unequal resources, such as wealth and power, with other groups to seek benefits for their own interests. |
