Explanation:

Social conflict theory is a macro-oriented paradigm in sociology that views society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and social change. Key elements in this perspective are that society is structured in ways to benefit a few at the expense of the majority, and factors such as race, sex, class, and age are linked to social inequality. To a social conflict theorist, it is all about dominant group versus minority group relations.

Types of social conflict:

• conflict involving social positions

• conflict of interest

• role conflict - conflict involving social roles

Social change becomes a cause of conflict when a part of society does net change along with changes in the other parts. Social change causes cultural lag which leads to conflict. The parent-youth conflict is the result of social change. In short, conflict is an expression of social disequilibrium.
