1. I feel that the conflict paradigm is more insightful.

2. a) The conflict theory offers a more realistic view towards societal life and issues that are faced.

b) The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Women still only get 70 cents to every dollar that men make and inflation continues to rise while wages remain low.

3. a)The order theory is simply unrealistic because conflict is human nature. Many people may want to believe everything is orderly but that is only because they can't see past their own bubble.

b) All people are not alike and are constantly changing with time. People will change as the economy changes and think differently due to beliefs and cultural background. In America there is a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, classes and races.
