According to the conflict perspective, what determines human behavior?

  1. Cultural norms

  2. Social forces

  3. Biological instincts

  4. Personal values

The correct answer is: Social forces

According to the conflict perspective, human behavior is largely influenced by social forces, such as power dynamics and competition for resources. Cultural norms, personal values, and biological instincts may also play a role, but they are considered secondary factors in this perspective. Therefore, options A, C, and D can be ruled out as they do not align with the conflict perspective's focus on social forces as the primary determinant of human behavior.
