MIDTERMS SCKWRK twelve thousand one (sixty-nine) CONFLICT PARADIGM

The conflict paradigm views society as a struggle for limited resources, highlighting inequalities based on race, class, gender, etc., and sees power imbalances as the root of problems, not individuals. Instead of focusing on individual deficits, this macro-level perspective pushes social workers to challenge oppressive structures, advocate for social justice, empower marginalized groups, and work towards systemic change through activism, organizing, and policy reform to transform institutions that maintain inequality.

BACKGROUND OF CONFLICT THEORY

Conflict theory, as associated with Karl Marx, is a social theory that posits that society is in a state of perpetual conflict because of competition for limited resources.

Conflict theory holds that social order is maintained by domination and power, rather than by consensus and conformity. According to conflict theory, those with wealth and power try to hold on to it by any means possible, chiefly by suppressing the poor and powerless. A basic premise of conflict theory is that individuals and groups within society will work to try to maximize their own wealth and power.
