Conflict Orientation and Feminism Orientation
Conflict can be defined as the inequality that occurs between two or more people. While Feminism Orientation can be defined as the advocacy of women’s rights based on the factor of inequality between men and women.
In society, conflict exists when there is inequality based on factors such as social class, race, gender, etc. In order to combat conflict in society, change must arise that aims to eliminate or decrease inequality and establish a society that is egalitarian. Social conflict arises when one or more parties are viewed to be more superior than another, thus resulting into inequality in society based on the differences in race, gender and other factors.
Feminism Orientation focuses on gender in its relation to power and inequality. The main purpose of Feminism Orientation is to provide a platform where women can give a voice that has been denied by science. Traditional science views a male’s perspective as objective, rational and instrumental, thus making it seem more superior. The Feminism Orientation strives to designate how a females’ perspective is subjective, empathetic, inclusive and relational, thus strives to reject all sexism in science and research.
