'''Conflicted Rules Theory (CRT) '''A New Theory in Sociology This theory belongs to the structure-agency approach. It is a result of the limited attempts in researches and studies I undertook since 2004, (Badawi: 2004, 2009a, 2009, 2013, 2014) and which continued until the pillars of this theory in question have been laid down. I think that this theory offers a new approach which is different from those of the main theorists in this field Pierre Bourdieu, (Bourdieu, 1977, 1993, 1994, 1997)   Anthony Giddens, (Giddens, 1984, 1987, 2005)   Margaret Archer, (1995, 2000). I have benefited from the theoretical heritage of contemporary sociology, such as Randall Collins’s theories of conflict (1975, 1979), Sheldon Stryker’s theories of interaction, especially the Symbolic Constructivism, (1980, 1987) Jeffrey C. Alexander’s Neo functionalism, (1988, 1989) and Ulrich Beck’s Cosmopolitanism. (1989, 2012, 2014, 2016). I also assume that (CRT) offers clear and analogical concepts instead of these ambiguous relations and concepts that are common in many western sociology theories. Furthermore, it can be developed and its interpretation can be extended in different branches of Sociology. In addition, it can be used to develop inter-research in social sciences This theory in question has many ideas in common with Bourdieu’s, Giddens’s and Archer’s theories, yet there is a number of essential points which distinguish it from them, as follows: (1) Bourdieu’s theory managed to extensively elaborate on interpretation of the processes of reproduction, yet it is unable to explain the social change; (2) the ambiguity of the duality of structure concept in the Structuration Theory and its inability to unveil the impact of the cultural factors in making change; and (3) even though Margaret Archer discovered the weakness points in Giddens’s theory, she largely relied on the cultural factors in analyzing it and ignored meanwhile the factors of power and hegemony that deeply influence social structure.16:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC)16:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC) the full text in the following link
