Marx predicted that capitalism within a socioeconomic system would inevitably create internal tensions between social classes leading to its demise and replacement by a new system, communism. For Marx, the concept of class has always existed in society. Historically, a society has always been arranged into various orders of social rank. A defining characteristic of capitalism however, is that “it has simplified the class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other: Bourgeoisie and Proletariat” (Marx and Engels 1848).
Assess the extent to which Marxist and Feminist theories help our understanding of religion in society today (33marks) The Marxist perspective of society is a structural conflict theory based on the conflict between the ruling/capitalist class and the working class. The ruling class also known as the bourgeoisie; who own most of society’s wealth and the means of production. The Working class is also commonly known as the proletariat who are, according to Marxist theorists, being exploited in the working industry by the bourgeoisie to gain profit. They use the Economic Determinism model to show how the economic base, which shows the means of production being owned by the ruling classes, determines the ISAs and argue that we are being controlled by the ruling class through the use of the ISAs which teach the DVS to us. Through this we have learned that as working class, we expect and accept that we will be exploited by the ruling class in terms of our surplus value.
Krieken, R. et al. 2014, p. 205 defines class as referring to a “social group, defined in terms of its economic position in a hierarchy of inequality and with material interests that differentiate it from other classes.” This essay will set out to explain how sociology helps to understand class, and how the theories of Marx and Weber have influenced the basis for most modern sociological theories of class. Social class is a concept that has been argued about for hundreds of years. According to the Business Dictionary social class can be defined as “a status hierarchy in which individuals and groups are classified on the basis of esteem and prestige acquired mainly through economic success and accumulation of wealth. Social class may also refer to any particular level in such a hierarchy.” Sociologists have given a threefold classification of classes which consists of upper class, middle class and working class.
According to rapoport, the nuclear family is no longer regarded as the ideal family structurea and more people are opting for other different types of family structures. These differences in the family structures tend to increase at high rates. In britain in 2001, a wage earning husband and a non-working wife at home with two dependant children accounted for a mere 8% of all men in paid employment. This proves that the traditional nuclear family is also decreasing in number through statistics provided by the govt. More recent research by rhona(1989) confirms the earlier research.

However, it is undeniable that Marxism has provided a vital and consistent explanation for how class came about. Karl Marx developed the first Marxist ideas of class, whilst studying British society during a time that was rife with industrial revolution and social change in the 1840’s. Marx idea of class was firmly based around production. He believed that the British society was divided into two classes, the bourgeoisie (capital owner) and the proletariat (worker), and therefore defined these classes regarding their relationship to the means of production. It became apparent to Marx that the gap was widening between the two classes, which was illustrated by the growing difference of living standards between the bourgeoisie and proletariat.
