There are hundreds of group theories that explain why groups operate they way they do. One theory that I found interesting and very familiar to me was Karl Marx’s Social Conflict Theory.
Karl Marx was a very famous philosopher, revolutionary, and social scientist. Karl Marx was born on 1818 in Trier, Germany. Karl was the third of nine children living in a middle class home. He attended private school where he joined a radical group later becoming the president. While studying in London with his wife Jenny von Westphalen he started reading Georg Wilhelm Friedrich.

Then his eldest daughter and wife dead causing him to be depressed and making his health worst. Once he importance started to shine through the clouds. After he died The Social Movement came about and his work will forever be remembered. His work started to get recognized and everyone started to see his genius through his work. His ideas helped the The Social Movement greatly. After that nearly half of the population on earth were calling themselves “Marxist” for believing in the ideas of Karl Marx. Karl Marx ideas were so brilliant that he created a new form of communism called “Marxism”. His new form created branches of communism like Stalinism, Marxist Sociology, and Maoism.

He had to be in his twenties and I look much older then I do especially when my facial. So for him to call me boy I felt different, but I don’t know why. I couldn’t shake the feeling that him calling me boy didn’t sit right with me. So I did research and I came to the conclusion that being called boy is a mental insult.

In my experience I was being weak while the white males calling me boy was dominating me not physical but mentally. Proving that Karl Marx conflict theory still exist as well as racism.
In conclusion Karl Marx’s conflict theory is the fight between two or more groups, class, or individual while
