  • Aim of the topic: Exploring Karl Marx contribution to sociological theories

    Topic in brief: The analysis of Karl Marx (1818–1883), society was fundamentally divided between classes who clash in pursuit of their own class interests. When Marx examined the industrial societies of his time, he saw the factory as the center of conflict between the exploiters (the owners of the means of production) and the exploited (the workers). In The Communist Manifesto, which first appeared in 1848, Marx and Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) argued that the masses of people (whom they referred to as the proletariat) with no resources other than their labor should unite to fight for the overthrow of capitalist societies.
