Document Summary

Marx vs. durkheim: conflict theory vs. functionalism (all structural ) Durkheim and marx both believe the larger structures of society influence the individuals. Difference is how they imagine the structure is like. Conflict is what drives the world forward (marx, weber hegel) Both belief that the larger structure influences individuals. For marx it"s about classbourgeoisie and proletariat - eventually the proletariat would realize they are being controlled by materialism and the upper class so they will try and take over which will create conflict. For durkheim it about social facts: transcends individuals but can control us. Studied and worked at the university of michigan - sociology and economics. Looking glass self i consider how different people view me, and that changes the way. Imagine how other evaluate us - judgement people have on us. Develop some sort of feeling about ourselves because on how others perceive us - self image based on judgement of others.
