From the Paper:

"The conflict perspective is defined as: "A theoretical perspective that focuses on the struggle among different social groups over scarce rewards" (Iverson). There is nothing so constant in society as conflict. The history of our world revolves around conflict, religious or otherwise. Society would not be society without some form of conflict. The conflict perspective is more than just war or violence; it is the part of society always fighting against dominance and submission. The conflict perspective is alive in everything from conflicts between management and labor unions (think of the recent dockworkers strike), to the struggle for women to gain equal compensation in the workforce."
