Sociological Perspectives Assignment
2. The Conflict Perspective is a macro/mid-level sociological paradigm which is based off of the
idea that society is a competition for limited resources. Those who have control over the
limited resources hold power and are able to shape societal norms at their will. An example
of this paradigm is the master/slave dynamic. Since the master holds the power due to his
wealth and the social facts based on that wealth, the slave is forced to subserviency which is
acceptable by society due to social norms.
