Marxism

1. Education

1.1. They believe education also only makes working-class children conform to their social class status. There as social inequalities in education which means that children from the service class or intermediate class are much more likely to stay in school and enter higher education such as university or college.

2. Crime

2.1. They believe that capitalist society is based on materialism and consumerism. Due to living in an unequal society, many cannot afford the products they need or want. Certain people will get material goods through illegal means. Crime is done because of the way capitalist society is organised and the inequalities built into it.

3. Marxists believe that under a capitalist system the proletariat (the working class) will always be exploited by the bourgeoisie (the upper class who owns the means of production). Society can only be viewed as equal without capitalism as it’s as much an economic system as it is a political system.

4. Family

4.1. They do not like the nuclear family because it maintains the capitalist system. Then through socialisation within the family, the working-class children are taught to accept their low position in society as well as accepting that the unequal society they live in is actually fair.
