Theory, Deviance, and Society

To understand how sociology, sociological theory, and cyber-technology work together there has to be knowledge of what conflict theory is and how it relates to deviance.

Conflict theory emphasizes the social, political, or material inequality of social groups; which critique the broad socio-political system, that otherwise detracts from the structural functionalism and ideological conservatism. In modern conflict theory social structures are created through conflict between people with differing interests and resources. Because of the conflict and deviance within society and the advent of technology, it is essential to have management of the conflict and deviance.
