The other day we read about the two different theories of ethnic relations. There is the order theory, in which the society is a balanced system and there's the conflict theory, in which the society's held together by the power of the dominate group. When looking at our society I would say we seem more like the conflict theory's idea of a society . To me it doesn't seem that we have a balanced system within our society where everyone has an equal opportunity for success. I would say that the members of the dominate group has advantages over the rest of the population. Although the order theory sounds ideal, I don't think our society is quite that way but hopefully we can keep working towards a society that fully backs the order theory.
