Answer:

Conflict theory centers on the economical and social factors that can cause crime and the inequality that comes from it.

Explanation:

Conflict theorists suggest that these factors have a <em>correlation between race and wealth. </em>They center on the idea that those with power and money can <em>influence what affects them</em> and can even <em>influence the law to their favor. </em>

In this case, the difference in the sentence for possession of cocaine or crack cocaine is the example of an unequal system.

Since the users of cocaine are typically more affluent and white, they have their means and hold the power for bending the law in their favor and reducing the sentence for possession. Unlike them, crack cocaine users tend to have less means and are generally a minority so they cannot bend the law in their favor.

Why would the president seek approval from the United Nations to take military action in a foreign country?
klemol [59]

Hi there!

One such reason is the fact that the UN's job is to maintain peace and help other countries. If the president went to them, he can see what they think the best option is, being as they are not just apart of the US, and their main objective is to help other countries!

Hope this helps!
