The movie Mean Girls is what I think conflict theory is. The groups of people in the movie are in which society is viewed as composed groups that are competing for scarce resources. The groups are based on similar social aspects like money, power, and education. The group of plastics had a constant blance of power, even between each friendship but towards the end of the movie the change of friendships caused tension in the plastics. The tension in the plastics cause other people to have hurt feelings, resentment, and conflict. Conflict theory proves that cliques are everywhere and each group has their own standards with how society views them.

My learning style is being a creative learner. I like to use imagination which is one of my strongest tools. I'm more for learning the metaphorical reasoning and creative outlets. I like to see overall concepts first. I learn best on facts, data, details, and information. I also learn best on my feelings, emotions, and personal values. Some of the recommended learning styles that I have tried is reading the textbook before class, and retain group conversations. Some new techniques that I use is to memorize a teacher's speech.
