Which of the following is the best description of a person-versus-society conflict?

aevans182:

Are there choices?

sexygrl11:

A. an argument or a physical fight between two people B. a person who is fighting against an idea or a group C. a person who is trying to benefit from being part of a group D. a person who is helping others who are poor and weak E. a person who is trying to make a decision

aevans182:

What do you think it is?

sexygrl11:

A

doggofroyo:

So a person-versus-society conflict, is ":A character vs. society conflict is an external conflict that occurs in literature when the protagonist is placed in opposition with society, the government, or a cultural tradition or societal norm of some kind"

doggofroyo:

So basically level down on the answers.

sexygrl11:

idk

mxddi3:

We can get rid of E because this is an inner conflict. The person is trying to choose something themselves, so it's not society. We can also get rid of option D because this isn't a conflict, it's helping people out. And we are also going to eliminate option A. This is because it's person-v-person. They aren't fighting with society, but with each other. Society needs to be more than one person. So from B and C, which do you think?

aevans182:

Most of the choices are between two people but which one is between a person and a group or society?

sexygrl11:

ya

aevans182:

So do you know what it is?

sexygrl11:

i think it is A

doggofroyo:

Only B and C are an option

aevans182:

No thats between two people, which one is between a person and a group?

sexygrl11:

ya what he said

doggofroyo:

B maybe then-?

aevans182:

Correct!

sexygrl11:

okay
