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.
