Carmen Todd · Answer 1

True.

Explanation:

The conflict theory, initially proposed by Karl Marx, emphasizes that society is in a state of constant conflict because power is unevenly distributed in society. It maintains that social order is maintained not by agreement and conformity, but by dominion and power. Therefore power can be interpreted as control of politics, wealth, power and of the institutions that are important institutions of societies.
