Lecture 5: Conflict Theory: Two Traditions and Karl Marx I)Conflict theory: A)Defined: Social life is shaped by groups/individuals that struggle and compete for resources and rewards in terms of wealth, power and prestige. Society is seen in terms of conflict and struggle, focusing on elements that promote division and inequalities. Social order emerges from dominance and coercion. The family, government, religion and institutions foster and legitimate power and privilege for some at the expense of others (Newman 2002). B)Elements of conflict theory 1)Social systems: _______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 2)Roles: _______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 3)People have an essential nature and clearly defined interests. ___________ ____________________________________________________________ 4)Marx analyzed both historical and contemporary society in terms of conflicts between different social groups with different (competing) interests 5)Marx emphasized the link between the nature of ideas, or “ideologies,” and the interests of those who develop them. ___________________________ ____________________________________________________________ C)Premises of conflict theory 1)Social change: ________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 2)Power: Is the core of social organization which allows dominant groups to secure their interests over subordinate groups. Power is the major source of social conflict, which leads to social change  29

3)Interests: ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 4)Social order: Is the product of coercion and manipulation 5)Goal of sociology: Delineated between two schools: (a)Critical theorists: __________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ (b)Analytic conflict theorists: ___________________________________ __________________________________________________________ D)Two schools of conflict theory _____________________________________ 1)Critical theory (a) Value committed (b)Perfectibility of human society ________________________________ (c) View of Functionalism: ______________________________________ 2)Analytic conflict theory (a)Value free: ________________________________________________ (b)Conflict is inevitable: _______________________________________ (c)View of Functionalism: ______________________________________ II)Karl Marx (1818 – 1883) A)Biography 1)Born in Trier, Germany 2)Long line of rabbis on both sides of family 3)Father agreed to baptism as a protestant so he could keep his job as one of the most respected lawyers in Trier 4)European stage in 1848 ________________________________________ 5)Attended University of Bonn and University of Berlin 6)Occupation: Journalist, political organizer, writer (not a professional academic) _________________________________________________), trained as a philosopher, but saw himself as an economist and social critic 7)Supported in his work by contributions of wealthy benefactors such as  30

Friedrich Engels B)Published contributions 1)“Manifesto of the Communist Party” (1848) 2)The German Ideology(1852) 3)Capital(1868 – 1872) _________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ C)Sociological focus 1)Brought a theoretical focus to empirical social analysis 2)Crux of Marxian theory: Bridged concrete economic relations among people and the broad patterns of social order that emerge from economic relationships in specific eras—what is now called “historical materialism.” ____________________________________________________________ 3)Scholaractivist: _______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 4)Importance of social class and man’s relationship to the means of production 5)Ultimate goal: ________________________________________________ D)Theoretical contributions 1)Economic basis of society: (a)Materialism: How humans use resources for the maintenance of human existence. Social action can be explained by our wants and needs (b)Base/superstructure thesis: ______________________________________  ____________________________________________________________ (c)Key social problem: Alienation brought about by private property (As long as one group owns/controls production and another does not,  31

alienation will exist) 2)Culture and ideology: (a) Religion is the “opiate of the masses.” __________________________ __________________________________________________________ (b)Praxis thesis: Proof of theory is its impact on progressive social change 3)System contradiction thesis and dialectic logic: The reasoning follows the process. Marx’s dialectic was based on social relations of the material world, analyzing the way that opposing forces produce contradiction and conflict. For Example: Thesis AntithesisSynthesis ÂÂ Power/Control RebellionNew society 4)Theory of class conflict: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles” (a) Class is defined by mode of production, or property system (i)Long view: Historical perspective of how ancient societies developed their means of production (ii)From turmoil of the industrial society emerged ¾Bourgeoisie: ___________________________________________ ¾Proletariat: ____________________________________________ (b)Creates conflict in relationship over scarce goods (i)Class exploitation ________________________________________ (ii)Class consciousness (recognizing class interests, leading to a class identity, solidarity, unionization, political movements) (iii)Act upon class interests to encourage/accelerate change and revolution  32

(c)Goal: _____________________________________________________  _________________________________________________________ E)Assessment of conflict theory and Marx 1)Strengths (a)_________________________________________________________ (b)Applies scientific reason in the analysis of social life (Marx’s  theories yield testable propositions that allow evaluation and  falsification) (c) _________________________________________________________ (d)Continues to have an ethical and moral appeal (awareness of issues of  oppression leading to social action) (e)Observation about how people associate according to economic status  still (largely) applicable 2)Limitations (a) Most likely to find Marxist revolutions in least advanced capitalist  countries (b)_________________________________________________________ (c)Mass media/consumerism dilute working class solidarity (d)_________________________________________________________ (e)_________________________________________________________ (f) _________________________________________________________ (g)Relativistic epistemology: If all knowledge is “false consciousness” (ideology), then what excludes Marx from such a notion?
