Mars as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system and is named after the Roman god of war. It is also known as the "Red Planet," due to its reddish appearance when seen from the Earth. Like the Earth, Mars has a rocky surface and polar ice caps. Its rotational period and seasonal cycles are similar to those of the Earth. Of all the planets in the solar system other than Earth, Mars is thought to be the most likely to harbor liquid water, and perhaps some life forms. Consequently, popular attention has been drawn to Mars, and probes to this planet continue to be equipped with instruments to attempt to discover microscopic life.

-text=In [[sociology]], '''conflict theory''' states that society or an organization functions so that each individual participant and its groups struggle to maximize their benefits, which inevitably contributes to [[social change]] such as [[politics|political]] changes and [[revolution]]s. The theory is mostly applied to explain conflict between [[social class]]es, [[proletariat]] versus [[bourgeoisie]]; and in ideologies, such as [[capitalism]] versus [[socialism]].

-While conflict theory successfully describes instances where conflict occurs between groups of people, for a variety of reasons, it is questionable whether this represents the ideal human society. Although some theorists, such as [[Karl Marx]], have claimed that growth and development occur through the conflict between opposing parties, cooperation is also a source of healthy growth. It needs to be determined under which situations, if any, conflict is necessary to produce change, as compared to those under which cooperation and harmony lead to the greatest advances.
