Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

According to conflict theorists, physicians have made a concerted effort, through the American Medical Association, to gain recognition as a profession, often at the expense of competing groups. They also point to the medical profession's alliances with the dominant groups in capitalism, the white, upper-class males. Medical doctors have coercively repressed competing forms of medicine, such as osteopathy, acupuncture, and homeopathy. Finally, conflict theorists contend that physicians keep the supply of doctors artificially low, by limiting enrollment in medical schools.
