Explanation:

Conflict perspective focuses on the two ends of the social structure with one group can be considered as the peaceful or prosperous group while the other can be the problem makers or struggling group. The perspective suggest that there is always a struggle for power within the society. This struggle is for the limited resources that are available mainly to one group. Karl Marx was the first theorist that proposed this perspective. The argument presented here is that subcultures often emerge because the dominant society has unsuccessfully attempted to suppress a practice regarded as improper, such as the use of illegal drugs highlights the divided in the society between the dominant and the suppressed and hence, this is conflict perspective.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
