Theoretical Framework

Complicit theory addresses the way is which people within a with struggle

for power, how they disagree and what action they take to compete for

resources. Prestige and wealth often foe form the basis for the most intense

competition. Instead of buying in to the myth that all families are harmonious

entities, conflict theory challenges that assumption to examine the ways in

which family members struggle, according to California state university.

The theory of family feud within families starts with the primes that

family member undergo conflict and disharmony. The study includes family

dynamics and the roles played by the various family members. The source of the

power and the source of the conflict must be identified. Include in the conflict

theory as it applies to the family is the uncovering of how the family deals with

change and adversity.

When the family is dissected and source of conflict and power identified,

the family then can find better and more effective ways to communicate.

Understanding can be lead to a desire for change and motivate family members

to participate to develop more positive relationship. Through the study of the

family dynamics, members my become more emphatic and understanding of

the underlying causes of their conflict.

According to California state university, it is possible to interact with

other human being without eventual conflict. Growth takes place within context

of conflict. Change and the ensuring conflict it brings are normal and necessary
for human growth and development. The primary goals should be for family

members to learn how to manage the conflict so that it doesn’t escalate and

alienate other and lead to relationship.
