The Hispanic culture doesn't view colors in the same way as the American culture.

Conflict theory focuses largely on the difference in influence/power certain groups have compared to others in a society.
This theory could be used by sociologists when examining the pay gap between men and women. Men typically get paid more than women, even if they're working at the same job. A great current example of this involves the actress Robin Wright. She has performed beside Kevin Spacey for five years now in the Netflix show "House of Cards". They are both the leads of the show, but Spacey (love him!) gets paid more than Robin. When she found out about this, naturally she was upset considering she put in the same amount of work and had as much importance to the show as Spacey's character. Last year producers agreed to pay Ms. Wright the same amount as Spacey, but recently it has come to light that they lied to her again. She has recently stated that if she does not receive equal pay, she will not be coming back for season 6. Equal pay not only effects the lower and middle class, but also the high paid actors of Hollywood as well!

- Is the belief that society is no longer governed by history or progress. Postmodern society is highly pluralistic and diverse, with no "grand narrative" guiding it's development.

- An example of how a sociologist could study using this theory would be to study how the media-dominated age has taken over and how it effects our society. For example how people respond to media images rather than the real person or places, and television. Media creates something called ‘hyper reality’ where what we see in the media is different from and yet more real than reality.  "reality" t.v shows such as the Real Housewives of New York and Keeping up with the Kardashian's are perceived as "reality" but is a dissolution of life into TV per French philosopher Jean Baudrillard.
