Conflict perspective Patriarchy in terms of power, males have privilege and dominance over their female counterparts in all economic aspects. This is because, men are the controller of resources and power and other economic resources in the society. This paper will examine the reasons as to why the number of women CEOs in U.S. companies drop in 2018; despite the fact that women form a large percentage of labor force in the United States by the use of conflict perspective. Social life under influence of economic view conceptualizes people’s ownership and control as the base for organization of the society. The social organization is characterized by unequal distribution of resources in capitalist society (Carton, 2016). The work control underlies is full of social conflicts, domination and subordination. This is probably caused by the gender which controls the resources and power. The study between men and women is done by some strands of theories which use conflict perspective in studying the existing relation between the two. They are Marxist feminism, socialist feminism and radical feminism. In real-life situation, men have power over everything owned by women (Van et al, 2017). This leads to labor specialization and division in which some certain job positions are designed for women and more senior positions are meant for men. Through this conflicting perspective, gender inequality takes its course and unfairness in economic sectors. Marxist and socialist feminist, women identification with life based on domestic chores is a result of capitalist class relation. Women do not participate in social analysis and classical sociology social world. The concept is that men have experience, and every society is dominated by males. A social and economic world is composed of male activities. The development of CONFLICT PERSPECTIVE 2 public and private spheres separation is a long history aspect of modern and industrial society. With emergency of industrialization, cities and capitalism development, the world dominated by men and male activities began. Women became were allowed only to participate in private sphere of family related activities (Watson, 2018). They had little or no chance to take part in politics, economic and also social life sphere. However, women were partially allowed to participate in certain activities but within set limitations. In early centuries women in the United States were unrecognized individuals in industrial sectors. Formal power was held by men and they excluded women in all public spheres. Men controlled the money and property of women. There was no sense of formal equality at all. Also, the difference in the drop can be attributed to sex and age conflict perspective view. In today’s society, both sex and age matter a lot in roles and responsibilities assignments in many spheres. The central economic and social life organization will determine the place of women in managerial roles. Gender is being used when it comes to promotions at the workplace. The female gender is viewed to be inferior in all areas (Grusky, 2018). Despite women dominating the United States labor force, economist basing their view on conflict perspective hold that the career outcome is determined by the gender. Men are likely to be involved in labor force, with many extra paid hours than women. The conflict view is that women and men do not hold the same occupation in the workplace and perform the job at various industries. Additionally, men will supervise women at the workplace and hold and dominate senior positions in a company. The conflict society shows that a society is made up of various interests of groups which compete for resources and power. Women demotion from top positions viewed to be made for men in the United States is as a result of a social world whereby, the group with all types of control machinery will dominate and rule the other. When a society is undergoing different CONFLICT PERSPECTIVE 3 stages of economic development, like from one industry to another can lead to replacement of women occupying crucial positons presumed to be for men. This replacement can take place on grounds of ensuring competencies attributed to male gender. The struggle for top positions in a company will be mostly influenced by men trying to maintain power to harm women holding such positions (Van et al, 2017). Managerial problems emerge when dominating male group exploit and oppress the subordinate group. This perspective tries to foster the change of power structure and gender imbalance between the two genders. In the United States, the difference is brought by the changing wave of conflict perspective on managerial structures. To assess the differences in the United States through conflict perspective, preparation of questionnaires based on workforce retention on sociological grounds will explain the scene. By studying the difference between new promoted men in those senior positons and women demoted from the same positions will automatically give results which are based on conflict perspective theory. In conclusion, it is clear from the paper discussion that, conflict perspective on companies’ trends on management position held by women stems from early beliefs that senior positons are made for men and women lack competencies to occupy them. However, this is not the case. In today’s industrialized society, everyone has right to occupy any positon irrespective of gender provided he or she has due qualifications.
