Reatlity TV And Sociological Theroy In nearly all reality shows there is one constant theme that is prevalent, that theme is conflict. All the shows thrive upon it; it is what keeps the viewers coming back, and fuels plots.

The best sociological theory to analyze this conflict is the social conflict theory. Social conflict theory’s basic idea is that conflict is natural and inevitable in all human interaction.
