SOCIAL STRUCTURE
• Marxism is sometimes seen as focusing on the negative, always changing, and clashing
nature of society instead of focusing on the positive aspects of society such as defense
of the status quo and how people cooperate to create social order. It tends to emphasize
conflict and social change as opposed to harmony and social stability. It sees society as
being composed of stratified groups of people who have their own agenda and interests,
and the group with more access to economic resources tend to dominate the other
group.
