Talk to your parents and elders, grandparents and their contemporaries and discuss whether modern society is really more competitive or conflict ridden than it used to be before. And if you think it is, how would you explain this sociologically?

The modern society in which we are living is more competitive but to some extent it is conflict ridden than it used to be before.

When we talk with our parents and grandparents about their society or the society of olden time, we come to know that competition and conflicts were there also but the nature was very different. The competition was quite low and conflict was quite high.


In earlier days, the basic conflicts were the cast conflict and the conflict between several communities.


Now-a-days in modern society, due to spread of education, this type of conflict has been minimised but still political conflicts can be seen.


However the competition level is quite high and so the society is in the progressive state.
