Conflict Theorist vs. Functionlist

A conflict theory which is based on the idea of social control and manipulation by powerful groups describes exactly what the Mean Girls are. As a conflict theorist I believe their is no usefulness for the "Mean Girls" in society. These powerful people force social order on the poor and the weak. This"elite" group of girls are self-serving and not beneficial to surrounding people. The Mean Girls don't provide a sense of purpose or preserve order. They are controlling people that will not strengthen society as a whole, so I believe their is no function for them.
