Presentation transcript:

SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY: MARXISM.

This is Karl MARX. 1. Society is in a state of CONFLICT between the rich and the poor. 2. Society uses a system called CAPITALISM to keep the rich - rich and the poor – poor. 3. CAPITALISM is an economic system where a small minority of society own the FORCES OF PRODUCTION (factories & information). 4. This minority is called the RULING CLASS (or the BOURGEOSIE) – they employ people to work for them to produce goods that they sell. 5. Marx called this arrangement the RELATIONS OF PRODUCTION and argued it EXPLOITED the SUBJECT CLASS (or the PROLETARIAT).

Strengths of Marxism…. Marxism has been a major influence on Sociology. Emphasises the importance of the economy unlike functionalism. Acknowledges what people think of the way in which society is organised and their place in it – acknowledges alienation.

It is seen as too economically focussed; everything revolves around money. Classic Marxism has ignored the role of women in society. Society doesn’t always operate in the interests of the ruling class.

Marxism & Youth Culture Hebdige (1979) examined the style of the Punk subculture Hebdige noted that Punk subculture seemed to be about rejecting conventional norms and values In this respect, Hebdige believes that those who belong to the Punk subculture were rejecting the identities that were available to them
