CHAPTER 1: WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?
QUESTION 1 (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
Conflict theory, as a sociological perspective, examines the inequalities and power
dynamics within society. It views society as structured around competing interests and
resources, with different groups of people vying for control and dominance. When applying
this perspective to the institution of schooling, conflict theorists see education as a social
construct that perpetuates and reinforces existing power imbalances and inequalities within
society.
