1.Values and norms are not the same for all members of the society but vary according to position and self interest.
2.Interests are never identical and the division of society into different classes with different access to a variety of privileges, itself generates a conflict of interest.
3.Consensus is only for those who share certain privileges.
4.Social life involves inducement and coercion.
5. Social control is not an expression of group consensus but oppression of the powerful.
6.Leaders seek status-quo in order to serve their own self interests.
7.Because the structural and organizational set-ups in society tend to divide the members, they are also likely to encourage unequal distribution of the scarce but valuable resources, desirable opportunities ,social positions, responsibilities and so on.
8.Inevitably, divisions will emerge in society which can bring about feelings of denial, exclusion and jealousy.
9.The outcome of denial, exclusion and jealousy is division is the social system. once these have crept into a society or the social system, disagreements, hostility and opposition will be borne among different social groups in society. such a scenario will therefore enhance chances of conflict
10.Social life generates oppression, exclusion and hostility.
11.Social differentiation involves power.
12.Political leadership is maintained through power.
13. There is no freedom of press because the powerful elite control the press.
Radical leaders who are popular are co-opted or eliminated by rulers so that they dont create trouble for them.
14.Social systems are characterized at best by contradictions i.e. there are a lot of disagreements in social systems.
Social systems tend to change. social institutions such as bureaucratic, social or political are sometimes maintained through force, coercion and inducements. the top hierarchy will try to demand conformity to its value,ideas and expectations from those lower in the hierarchy by using force coercion and inducements. Meanwhile cooperation and consensus are not part of the leaderships makings when social order is maintained thus, there is a great possibility for conflict to emerge in the system
