There are several basic assumptions of this conflict theory. Conflict theory is the antithesis of functional structural theory, in which functional structural theory strongly emphasizes order in society. Conflict theory sees conflict and conflict in the social system. The conflict theory sees that in society it will not always be in order. The proof in any society must have experienced conflicts or tensions. Then the conflict theory also sees the dominance, coercion, and power in society. Conflict theory also talks about different authorities. These different authorities result in superordination and subordination. The difference between superordination and subordination can lead to conflict because of differences of interest. The conflict theory also says that conflict is necessary for the creation of social change. While functional structures say that social change in society always occurs at the point of equilibrium, the conflict theory sees social change as a result of conflicts of interest. But at some point certain, the community is able to reach a mutual agreement. In the conflict, there are always negotiations made to create a consensus. According to the theory of conflict, society is united with "coercion". That is, the regularity that occurs in society is actually because of coercion (coercion). Therefore, conflict theory is closely related to dominance, coercion, and power.
