“Marx the father of communism believed that society had two groups, a controlling and the oppressed
group” He then came up with the conflict theory which describes how the two groups where in mutual
conflict. As we are growing up as children, we go through circumstances where some friends come from
well to do backgrounds, and acquiring expensive gadgets is not an issue for them. Whilst on the other
side you feel like certain things are not just meant for you but for a certain class of society hence you
distance yourself. I have been exposed to the oppressed group in society for not having certain
privileges only termed as such is only for the rich, hence impacting inferiority complex inside me. As a
result, this has had a negative effect on my well being and poor performance at school.
Eventually the conflict equilibrium changes as the oppressed becomes the controlling group “Karl Marx
was a German philosopher and economist who with Friedrich Engels authored the “communist
manifesto” a critical analysis of capitalism that saw the material or economic basis of inequality and
power relations as the cause of social instability and conflict” (Little & McGivern, 2013, p.13). Marx’s
analysis of the foundations of a capitalist society raises questions of the justice of the distribution of
wealth,” (Amies, 2008, p.7).
