Material Detail

Hello! This Introduction to Sociology video explains one of the three main sociological theoretical perspectives: conflict theory. We explore the main ideas shared by conflict sociologists about how competition over valuable resources is a cycle that both maintains social inequalities and contributes to social change. We reflect on how these ideas can help us think critically about society and our own lives 🌍

Reflection Questions 🤔 Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments ✏️ 1. How do the main ideas of the conflict theory help you understand society? 2. Can you apply conflict theory to a few social environments and groups in your everyday life? 3. What might be a weakness of this theoretical perspective?
