Anthem conflict

In Anthem one of the most important conflicts is the man vs. man conflict between equality and his goverment. Equality wants to learn, help his people, and to be will the golden one. He is not able to do this because his goverment thinks it better for his people to not learn or move forward with technology. I know this is a conflic becuase of all the times Equality breaks the law to learn new things, and how he and the Golden one talk and like each other.
