Conflict theory sees society as held together by coercion and focuses on its negative aspects.

Conflict theory, first developed by Karl Marx, is a theory that society is in a state of perpetual conflict, because of competition for limited resources.

Conflict theory holds that social order is maintained by domination and power, rather than by consensus and conformity. According to conflict theory, those with wealth and power try to hold on to it by any means possible, chiefly by suppressing the poor and powerless.

A basic premise of conflict theory is that individuals and groups within society will work to try to maximize their own wealth and power.

Marxist conflict theory sees society as divided along lines of economic class between the proletarian working class and the bourgeois ruling class.

Answer: Accepting responsibility for your feelings

Explanation: The fact that every action has its consequence is what is learned from early childhood. With the growing up and the complexity of living conditions and relationships and environments, this fact is slowly shifting into oblivion. Then we tend to blame others often for our own feelings, which may also be the result of some of our previous actions.

Yet there are people who understand the connection between action and consequence and are willing to accept responsibility for their own feelings. It is true that external events triggered our feelings, but their cause, that is why we feel that way, is certainly within us.
