- Conflict theory originated in the work of Karl Marx, who focused on class conflict between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
- Feminist theory focuses on understanding gender inequality, examining social roles, experiences, and interests.
- Critical race theory investigates the relationships between social conceptions of race and ethnicity, social and political laws, and media, portraying racism as systemic and not solely based on individuals' prejudices.
- Postmodern theory, a broad term for various movements, signifies a departure from modernism, highlighting the impossibility of relying on traditional ways of representing reality.
