Talk:Consensus theory

Paragpraph contrasting consensus and conflict theories
The last paragraph (well, the last one there at the moment) is opaque and unsourced. The comment that "Under conflict theory, the rules are seen as coercive, and who transgresses them is considered oppressive and wrong" seems particularly poorly phrased if not downright wrong.

 * I think that's supposed to say precisely the opposite. It would seem to me that, under conflict theory, anyone who opposes transgression simply because it is transgression would be seen as oppressive (though I'm not sure it would be correct to use the word "wrong"). To my understanding, consensus theory is based on the idea that societal rules change as a result of their violation - so seeing someone who breaks its rules as oppressive runs counter to the theory, never mind that it's just plain illogical.
