I have changed "founder fathers" to "founding fathers"
Also should it say societies and organizations instead of organization, organization as a whole or even specifically in human behavioral context doesn't equate to a function of society, it is much too broad of a term. I think the author meant organizations - P The D
Well, regarding the organization, I think it should disclude socities but organizations (A group of persons organized for a particular purpose; an association: a benevolent organization. ), because this word might be too broa of a term but it is the right term for this topic.
Why does Conflict Theory happen in our society?
Biology?
This entire article is on conflict theory in sociology except for the first sentence. So I have removed biology from the sentence and removed the Evolutionary biology category. If you think this could be a problem, then perhaps it needs a disambiguation page which can redirect people to a biology related conflict theory article. I have also remvoed the criminology category because it does not belong there. JenLouise 05:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Effect of CT on Law
In a law and society class, the text said that CT explained why the poor were more likely to fall afoul of the law. Since the poor cannot afford proper legal counsel, the poor are less likely to successfully navigate the legal process and run aground. These results are not based on deliberate intent but on failures of design of the legal process. Does anyone know if this is correct? Septagram 15:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Conflict Theory School Project
![]() | This article is currently the subject of an educational assignment. |
Currently, some of my classmates and I are working on a project for college called the wiki project. We have the topic of Conflict Theory. We will be making edits to work towards our project, and maintaining the site and adding the best information as possible. We hope that no one is offended or gets mad that we are working on this. We are currently just trying to make the page better by adding more information. So thank you for not deleting any of our input, and I hope we aren't causing to much of a hassle.

Notes
You're off to a decent start here. Some improvements are needed however:
- Conflict theory was not forumlated with the intent of refuting functionalism. Functionalism developed later. However you are correct that conflict theory stands in marked contrast to functionalism. Change the article to reflect this. Your link between functionalism and conflict theory is interesting, but you might want to drop the value labels. Instead point out how the role of conflict could be seen as functional if the constant production of change is good for a society. But be aware that the classical functionalists would be prone to argue that a great deal of conflict in society (particularly the type of conflicts Marx conceived of).
- Your reference to the Iraq war is fairly unclear. The conection is valid for several reasons. You should elaborate and explain how conflict theory can explain the war in Iraq. Max Weber's thoughts on the role of warfare in a capitalist society is extremely relevant. I'll find the relevant material for you.
- In the section on class you should stress that in Marx's origional conception ownership of property was the most essential determinant of the class structure; and that Weber modified this to say that property ownership was only one factor determining class structure. Power, and status were also very important. You mentioned these things already, it would just be a good idea to make it more obvious how important these things are.
- You should put more headings in to make the article easier to navigate.
Keep up the good work. You have a solid start here. --Velvet Llama 01:45, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
No Categories?
I noticed that this article has no categories, See Also list or citations. This may have been vandalisim, but if not, I think it needs to be changed. Any categories that fit the article, please add them. JoefromRML (talk) 11:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Critic missing
This article is very politic, and politically oriented, particularly in the section "Education". As all scientific theories, this one must have some detractors and their critics should appear to make the article neutral.
