Explanation:

Conflict theory is a social perspective that focuses on the stratification of a harmful and dysfunctional society. There is inequality perpetuated in society and rich people got benefits from the expenses of the poor. Conflict theory was derived from Karl Marx's ideas. The founder of conflict theory was Wright Mills. Mills believed that society is a dynamic perspective in that changes occur. It is not stable but is dynamic. This theory has been criticized on social change and neglects its stability. Many of the critics think that society is the continuous change but point was that changes were not so much incremental or beneficial. Conflict theorists focus on constant change and try to develop a theory on the stability of society.
