Question

despite widespread disapproval, racial conflict is not undesirable necessarily.Explain why

Answer 1

From the functionalist sociological perspective, racial conflict may not be necessarily undesirable as racial inequality serves some important function that justifies their existence for a long period in the history of humanity. A way to apply the functionalist perspective to racial conflict is to discuss the way it can strengthen bonds between in-groups members through the ostracism of out-group members. A community might increase solidarity by refusing to allow outsiders access.
