Question: 161
11. Shortly after a state legalizes gambling in casinos, a formal coalition forms to oppose the building of any casinos in the major cities of the state. This scenario includes:
I. conflict theory.
II. social institutions.
III. a social movement.
- A. I only
- B. I and III only
- C. II and III only
- D. I, II, and III
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
In this scenario, a group is fighting for social power, which is an aspect of conflict theory. Further, this group is an example of a reactive social movement because it is running counter to social change. The fact that gambling had been legalized implies the involvement of the government, a social institution.
