Conflict Theory /Social and Culture Film

Karly Maxy was born on the 5^th of May 1818; he was a philosopher, an economist, a historian, sociologists,a political theorist, a journalist, and a revolutionary socialist from German. At his campus-level, he mainly majored in law and philosopher. Maxy became stateless as a result of political publication where he was living in London for decades together with his wife and children. In 1848, his three best titles were pamphlet, communist manifesto, and three-volume Das capital. The politics and philosophy of Marx influenced more on subsequent intellectual, economic, and the history of politics; his name was used as an adjective, a noun, and as a school of social theory. Maxy was considered an essential person in society because he increased force towards contradicting the issues of disequilibria that was used in solving only in the new social system. Furthur after USSR was introduced, he made Eastern European countries to be communists such that there was a Revolution of bolshevik creation of Soviet union as well as the spreading of communism in world war two.

            Thesis statement: Analyses of the parasite using Marx’s ideas of class conflict. The aim of the paper is to examine parasite using the ideas of Marx on class conflict. The major topics to be discussed are capitalism, the issue of inequality, exploitation, class consciousness, as well as showing how these concepts are described in the film.

The film of my choice is conflict theory/social and culture film. The film talks more about the conflict method,how conflict has divided society, and the effects it has led to the entire society.According to the film, conflict theory is a way of studying society, that spokes on any quality that present groups in the community.Karl may believe that society evolved from several stages; he talks about capitalism and socialism. In the 19^th, people were grouped in other classes of rich people or types of poor people. The rich people were minorities, while the majority of people were poor. Minority groups had more than the majority group; minority people are believed to have factories that produced everything needed in the society for a living. The poor were depending on the rich people to pay them. There was a significant inequality between th factory owners and the poor people who were working for them. As a result, the minority formed them as a group to become stronger to defeat the minority group. The minority side was much okay with the economy. Still, the majority side was fighting for the changes to be made in order to improve their financial lives as well as being given a position to be in power. As a result, the conflict arises because the minority took the managerial positions leaving the lower levels to the deprived classes.

Conflict theory plays a more significant role in bringing changes in society. However, it does not take stability that can society is expecting to experience.

In typical cases, we understand parasite as an animal that depends on other animals so that it can services. In our cases, the parasites were used to describe the poor people. In the film, people were divided according to the capability and level of income. The rich people had their class, and they were the minority while the poor people had their course, and they were the majority. In our case, we can compare parasites with the poor people who were depending on the rich people. They were given less position in the factories and hence receiving low income. However, they had to depend on the rich people because they had no alternatives,they were many in numbers, and they needed some profits to cater to their needs. The film presents the poor as the parasite. Capitalism shows how the rich own the factories that produce everything needed in society,the act of inequality is exercised in the film where people are treated according to their classes. The rich people misused the poor people because they owned everything and because they had more powers than them. Basically, all the terms have been exercised in the film. The film is used to pass the message f how the poor in the society are mistreated, how they are denied priorities to serve in companies as well as showing that in real life people are classified according to what they own. As a result, a high number of dependence increases, and more conflict arise because the rich are trying to bring down the poor people while the poor people are forming groups as well as coming with way possible to ensures that they rich a point where rich people are.

Karl Marx claims that society in a perpetual state because it competes for limited resources. Society believes that social order is maintained by dominion and power other than Consequences and conformity. According to the theory of conflict, people who have more wealth and power try as much as they can to suppress the poor as well as making them powerless. The conflict theory is used to explain to a wider range of social phenomena that involve war, revolutions, inequalities, violence, and mistreating of the poor people. The theory normally assigns fundamental development in the human history like democracy, civil rights and in capitalism towards the attempts of controlling the masses other than desiring social order

.It revolves around the concepts of social inequalities towards dividing resources as well as focusing on conflicts that take place between drives change and development within the society. The conflict theory focuses on the dispute that arises between two classes. Each class consist, people who are bound by mutual interest, degree of property ownership, which often give support to the state. Max believes that both the working class and the poor people are making the condition to be worse because the rich will not have peace of mind trying to protect their property. At the same time, the distressed look for all means possible to take what the rich have, which results in violence hence affecting the economy of the nation.

I choose the topic Karl Marx of conflict to bring a clear image of what is happening currently in the many nations in the entire work. Rich are becoming more affluent and poor and becoming poorer; for instance, in many organizations, when giving out job opportunities, rich kids are considered first as compared to those from a low-income family.Leaders are grappling public properties, powers are being given to specific people, and even when it comes to the politicals, the poor people cannot afford to campaign because of financial constraints.The paper aims at creating awareness and letting people from poor backgrounds believe in themselves and start working as a group to ensure that they are able to hold senior powers, which will enable them also to fit in the society.For the gap between the rich and poor to reduce, there is a need for the weak group to first appreciate themselves and start working as a group which will help them to have powers as well as  improving their status

.Marx ideas of class conflict and the film go hand in hand because they all bring the same message of how poor have been oppressed by the poor, how there has been division of classes as well as showing how the trend is likely to continue if the majority group will not take any action towards solving this issue. In the film, the rich people owned the factories that were expected to provide income and products for all people. Rich people held all the positions in factories such that poor people were left with the position that required a lot of work with less payment. The same is happening in real life; rich are taking all holding all the powers; they are suppressing the poor to make sure that they own nothing hence making them be more miserable.

In conclusion, as the thesis statement stated, that is Analyses of the parasite using Marx ideas of class conflict, the paper confirms that confirm that the poor people depend more on the rich. The conflict arose as a result of the poor people trying to equalize themselves with the rich by taking wanting to have power and when rich suppress the poor people to ensure they own nothing. People are divided into classes; those who have income and their own properties are the minority while the poor people are the majority. However, being opposition does not prevent the rich from owning everything, but instead, through their cooperation, they can work well and always be ahead of the majority group. Karl Marx was so concerned with all human beings, that is the reason he introduced conflict theory to show the adverse effects it can cause on the social life of the people, economic and even in all departments. Generally, the essay aimed to show how conflict is increasing, the rate of poverty is also growing as well as showing that the poor will continue being poor if the rich people will continue grasping all the powers, all the finance as well as taking the top position in the workplace.
