Thorsten Sellin and Edwin Sutherland can be referred to as the proponents of Conflict Theory. There is diversity in the society and so there are various ideas presented by everyone. Conflict arises when one decision or opinion is a complete contrast with someone else’s opinion and both are stuck with the belief that what they have said is the correct statement.
