This paper is the result of an effort to study the most significant conflict theories and identify the most significant areas of conflict potential. There are a large number of conflicting theories in sociology that differ from each other, but all agree on that there are groups in society that have different interests. It is the existence of different interests that represent the conflict potential that raises the probability of conflict to the high level. Hence the certainty that different groups that follow their different interests will lead to conflict, thus creating a certain degree of instability in society. This research will also show the fact that the existence of groups with different interests does not necessarily lead to conflict.
