Durkheim sees anomie as responsible for the world’s disorder of economics- the lack of morality and regulation resulted in overpowering the weak; thus, he feels that only norms can prevent the abuse of power and calls for regulation and equal opportunity from birth- the greater the equal opportunity the less need for restraint. Marx looked at how capitalism separated humanity by making work a simple means of individual existence. In addition he describes society in terms of class and economic conflicts. Marx saw proletariat or people of a working class as being underneath the bourgeoisie or the capitalist of a modern society. Marx looked at how alienation of production of commodities by workers also leads to alienation of social life.
Unlike the previous countries, France viewed reason as their end and their ‘new truth’. Thus, France’s attitude on ‘latitudinarian’ is one of disdain. Under the reign of ‘reason’, the French began to overthrow their society rather than make reasonable improvements.

According to Karl Marx (1818– 83), the primary function of the state is to repress the lower classes of society in the interests of the ruling class. However, after the class struggle has resulted in the
Dehumanization occurs when those who are robbed of their humanity and those who rob others of their humanity through violence, oppression, and injustice. An example of this would be the division of social classes. The upper class could be defined as the oppressor with the status of power, wealth, and knowledge contrasted to the lower class or the oppressed. The lower classes lack power and wealth but are capable of obtaining knowledge through learning. Only once that the oppressed are conscious of their position in society of being dehumanized can they understand their circumstance and fight for freedom.
It focuses on class conflict. A key founder of conflict theory was Karl Marx. He believed that there is/or was a bitter conflict between the bourgeoisie (those who own the capital) and the proletariat (the workers who toil for low pay).

Critically evaluate the ways in which globalization has been a source of change in work, organization, and employment relations. Explain with reference to the specifically neoliberal character of globalization and its politically constructed nature. “Individuals have [...] become more and more enslaved under a power [...] which has become more and more enormous [...], the world market.“ (Engels & Marx, 1970:55) Marx’s vision of losing the individual and national autonomy to capitalist forces of world market is becoming realistic under the terms of globalisation. According to Polanyi, these capitalist forces are self-regulating, unconstrained by society, and have dehumanising consequences when left alone (Baum, 1996). In order to protect the people and the land from these unchecked market forces, a counter-movement emerges (Polanyi, 1944).
In turn, these examples weaken the culture, and destroying traditional culture and quality of life is a big ethical issue. ! Bodley goes on to give examples of the negative effects of pushing progress can have on cultures. Diseases are brought in from the advanced people. For example, a study was done on the Pukapukans of the Cook Islands, the Europeanized New Zealand Maori, and the developing Rarotangans.
Braverman presents an argument against what he regards as the degradation of work and the de-skilling of the labour force which is a result of the inhuman aspects of capitalism (Kanungo, 1982). The three terms, alienation, bureaucracy and de-skilling shall be explained, and the degree to which these conceptions are still applicable in modern day work organisations and industries. In the theory of alienation, Marx shows the damaging impacts of capitalist production on the workers(Ollman, 1976) by distinguishing four forms of alienation. Firstly, he argues that workers do not control the process of their work because they do not own the means of production that is necessary to manufacture a product. The worker has no role in deciding what to do or how to do it.
They emphasise that crimes of the upper class exert a greater economic toll on society than the crimes of ordinary people. William
