Identify and describe conflict that generate social structures and institutions that protect, reproduce, and/or consolidate power.
Expert Solution
Introduction

The conflict is a process that arises in the socio-cultural realm of meanings, values, standards, status, and classes. It is a structure at once, the opposite of attitudes, a situation at another, the opposition, and a sense of interests. It may be late until action has been initiated or resolved by -denial or acquiescence.

The perspective is of a macro-level approach more closely related to Karl Marx's writings (1818-1883), a German philosopher and sociologist. He saw society as consisting of two classes, the bourgeoisie (capitalist) and the proletariat (workers), vying for social, material, and political resources such as food and housing, jobs, schooling, and leisure. In their inherent inequality, social institutions like government, education, and religion embody this rivalry and perpetuate the unequal social structure.
