Response to Mean Girls

 I see the conflict theory throughout the whole movie of Mean Girls. In the movie there are many different social groups that seem to be separated by popularity, gender, race, appearance, etc.  In the movie, conflict theory takes part by causing a lot of tension between the girls while they try to figure out who wrote the burn book. The movie also shows how badly the girls treat each other. In society, socialization may not be as bad as it is in this particular movie, but it can result within a conflict theory. In the end, the girls end up confessing to one another about personal problems and that shows that they are actually trying to solve a conflict by speaking their minds in specific situations.
