What are contribution of Karl Marx in sociology?

Answer 1

yes. There are really too many examples to name. I suggest reading an encyclopedia article about Marx just to get a basic understanding. Then read the one of his works, it will probably be difficult at first, but stick with it, his ideas about alienation, globalization, and class struggle are even more relevant today (worldwide) than they were when he wrote them. Mainly, I think that a historical perspective from a common person's point of view i.e. not focused on "leaders", dates, and places lends itself to understanding Marx's work. A lot of the criticisms against Marx's work extend significantly beyond any work that he has done and are part of a class struggle that Marx writes about. Marx benefits from being contemporary and prolific in that nearly all of the work that he published at the time can be read in whole today. Finally, I can't emphasize more strongly that you should not take anyone else's word for what Marx is about, read it for yourself in conjunction with history of average people, not kings, queens, and presidents.

Answer 2

Karl Marx made significant contributions to sociology through his theory of historical materialism, which focused on the relationship between economic systems and social change. He also developed the concept of class struggle as a driving force behind societal dynamics, and his ideas on alienation and capitalist exploitation continue to influence sociological thought today. Marx's work laid the foundation for critical analysis of power relations, inequality, and social structures in modern societies.

Answer 4

Karl Marx is considered to have formed the basis of Communism. In his book Communist Manifesto, Marx describes the outlines of true communism, in which the proletarian (working) class must rise as one to demand equality. Communism, of course, took root in many countries in the 20th century, allowing for extreme bounds in production. It DID achieve equality of wealth, more or less, but resulted in widespread poverty and constant, government controlled labor. In opposition to Communism, philosophers such as Ayn Rand supported a more laissez faire style economy, promoting competition, and by that means, the individual rather than the collective.
