Detailed explanation-1: -If conflict comes from a conflict over scarce resources, it follows that conflict decreases when cooperation results in more shared resources. To reduce prejudice, superordinate goals can be set up. This is where the resources can only be won if the groups cooperate rather than compete.
Detailed explanation-2: -Realistic group conflict theory (RGCT) states that competition between groups for finite resources leads to intergroup stereotypes, antagonism, and conflict.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conflict theory holds that law and the mechanisms of its enforcement are used by dominant groups in society to minimize threats to their interests posed by those whom they label as dangerous, especially minorities and the poor. Racial profiling has become an issue of significance in the past several years.
