Notes for January 25, 2009















Today in class we discussed conflict theory. At the core of this is the idea of the 3 basic assumptions presented in class.

1. Society consists of groups
2. The groups have competing interests.
3. These groups have different types and amounts of resources

When groups both desire some resource, the group can use the resources they currently possess to aid in acquiring more resources. Subsequently, the more resources available to the group when pursuing some interest increases the likelihood of acquiring more resources.
