The Conflict Perspective
( how it directly effects us)

Ok first off you will need to know exactly what the conflict perspective is and what it's all about. The conflict perspective is the sociological view point that simply states: "They who have the power, will use the power, to maintain the power". This concept can be easily applied to our current government. They have had the power for ages. The conflict view point says that they will always have the power because they have had it from the start. They use their higher status to supress the governed people. We should have a say in what happens to us, what laws are made. But the truth is a small party of individuals make the decision for us, based on popular opinion. The conflict perspective can be proven wrong. But it would take a united force of the people. If people could self organize and discover how to live a nonauthoritarian lifestyle they may one day find a true utopian society. But the governments distortions of why they exist help to keep them in place. People lost touch with the ability to totaly take control of theirselves. Maybe one day in the near future people will wake up and realize that something needs to be done. But until then we can only hope.     -Doobs
