Conflict theories draw attention to power differentials, such as class conflict, and generally contrast historically dominant ideologies. It is therefore a macro level analysis of society.

This theory was founded by a German philosopher, economist, sociologist, and revolutionary (1818-1883).he next grand theory is called Functionalism or Structural Functionalism.
