COMPARE and CONTRAST two Theoretical approaches to social problems. 

Conflicts and Symbolic interactionist orientation. 

Conflic orientation it's mainly focus is on social class in a society about the inequality of resources hence conflict rises in a community for resources. Dominant group are more advantegious than disadvantage group. Resources in a society are distributed according to certain group of race nor social class. Conflicts will be cause by the way resources are being excess between dominant and disadvantage peoples.  Fosuses on social change so that every groups will have the same privilege of excess of the resources. By doing so they will reduce the social inequality that has been taking place all along in a society. 

Symbolic interactionist orientation is all about how individuals can take interaction from the other person. On this theory is about improving yourself to be better person with the mistakes that have been made by other person. All mistakes are neing rectify by witnessing on what the other person next to you is been doing. That's why they rely more often on symbols such as words and gesture so that they can understand better their interactions.
