A Sociology question

Question

What is the main premise of the conflict framework of families?

a.)​Conflicts are necessary for the change and growth of individuals.

​b.)Conflicts are an unnatural part of marriage and family.

c.)​Conflicts refer only to the disagreements between spouses.

d.)​Conflict should not occur with other systems outside the family unit.

Answer 1

The answer is A. If the question is rooted in conflict theory, then conflict is at the root of individual and group interaction due to power differences among the involved parties, and is thus a necessary and integral part of family relations. While conflict can help spur on change and growth in individuals which can be a good thing, (think how a fight sometimes results in greater understanding), it can also lead to individuals growing and changing in ways that separate them. Hope this helps!
