Gilberto Gillespie · Answer 1

Answer:C) Conflict Theorists

Explanation:According to conflict theorists society is in a constant conflict because of the competition for limited resources. Social stratification has resulted into a state where those with power and wealth reign over those who are powerless and poor.

The rich keeping getting what they want and taking everything for themselves whilst the poor are restricted and controlled by the rich. The rich make the rules which supresses the poor.

The rich get better Educational opportunities whilst the poor can't afford such opportunities.
