Conflict Theory: The Three Sociological Perspectives

Conflict Theory
My views on Conflict Theory emerged after being introduced to the Three Sociological perspectives. Subsequent to my research, I came to the conclusion that The Conflict Theory is in fact a concise explanation of how society operates.
In my own words, The Conflict theory claims that the society is in an everlasting conflicting competitive state for limited resources, it also indicates that control is not maintained by census and conformity but by power and sovereignty.
I understand this theory to be the most appropriate to explain today’s society. I notice that in society today the rich is getting richer at the expense of the working-class. The proletariats are endlessly working …show more content…
Apparently religion gives working-class hope of an ‘ultimate wealth’ (not necessarily money)beyond this life, which keeps them from attaining the worldly wealth. This, to me, is facts. Since the pastors and preachers in today’s society is gaining wealth and power simply by running a church and collecting offerings. They are preaching that we are not to indulge in worldly pleasures and live our lives in accordance to the bible to receive the ‘ultimate wealth’. This is why the poor is struggling to escape poverty which is seemingly impossible to hide from.
Wealth is inherited. When an individual is born into a wealthy family they are provided with all the opportunities to maintain their family’s social status, likewise, when an individual is born into poverty, they most likely cannot afford the education to help them escape poverty and the cycle continues.
In closing, whether we accept it or not, our society is based on authoritative power and wealth. The Conflict theory proves this matter however some people may say that it falls short of shedding light on social stability. But, they need to keep in mind that this Theory is not saying that society functions effectively as is, it is only suggesting an explanation or over view of what is evident. I must say that it is very unfortunate that we are still living in a world of inequalities
