Conflict theorists argue that social stratification often leads to conflict and other negative consequences because some people have more than others. a. true b. false

The answer is TRUE.

Social stratification refers to the division of a society in certain strata in terms of socioeconomic characteristics such as income, wealth or status derived from those two. For example, in Western societies such stratification is represented by the formation of different social classes.

Strafication was been analyzed by different lines of thought. According to conflict theories those social differentiations may lead to conflicts, such as in the Marxist theories. Marxism, for instance, states how people are differenced in terms of who owns the resources and who does not, the latter work for the first and social mobility is extremely difficult. Working classes are very unlikely to evolve socioeconomically. Those in the disavantaged positions may eventually rise against their situation and those who consider their oppresors.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
