<span>Conflict theory states that law does not protect the interest of various communities. Hence this theory can be used by some anti social elements in the society for their own benefit. For examples, some people in minority status may argue that they are not getting all their rights and hence they may protest by taking advantage of conflict theory.</span>

According to the conflict theory of crime and deviance, social inequality and power underlie how crime, deviance and punishment is characterized. The wealthy and influential members in society determine whom and which behaviors are deemed deviant and punishable. The conflict theory can be misused to rationalize behavior because it implies that there aren't any behaviors or individuals who are inherently deviant , instead behaviors and individuals are deemed deviant when they do not serve the interests of affluent members of society.

In what ways can more efficient transportation systems help bring about cultural change in rural societies?
WINSTONCH [101]

Explanation:

Cultural changes are the changes in the culture of a society by introducing new norms, traits, values, etc. Cultural changes occur when new people meet with the people of the existing society. New people bring about change in the society. Also cultural changes occur when people from societies meet with the people of other cultures and bring their norms, traits, values, etc, in their own culture.

So if the transportation systems are efficient enough between the rural and the urban areas of the country, people are more likely to move around different areas and see different new cultures. Due to efficient transport systems for people within the country, like railways system, bus system, coach facilities, etc, people from urban areas may visit the rural areas and can affect the culture of rural areas. Similarly, people from rural areas can visit people from urban areas and can see enormous cultural norms and traits in other cities and can bring back those values to their societies, which will bring about cultural change in rural societies as well. So efficient transport systems has a great impact in bring about cultural change.
