True or False: Conflict theory suggests that social change is primarily driven by the cooperation of all social classes working together towards a common goal.

The statement is false. Conflict theory, developed by thinkers like Karl Marx, argues that social change happens mainly because of struggles between different social classes, not through cooperation. According to this theory, society is made up of groups with competing interests, where those in power try to maintain their status while those without power fight for change. For example, during the labor movement, workers (the lower class) organized strikes to demand better wages and working conditions, challenging the interests of factory owners (the upper class). This conflict led to significant changes in labor laws, showing that social change often arises from these struggles rather than from everyone working together harmoniously.
