Social conflict.html



Social conflict is a conflict or confrontation of social powers.

Social conflict is an important aspect of social power. Sociologists however differ in views whether social conflict is limited to hostile or antagonistic opposition and whether it is a clash of coercive powers or of any opposing social powers.

Types of social conflict:

• position conflict - conflict involving social positions
  • conflict of interest
  • mezalians
• role conflict - conflict involving social roles
