Karl Marx contributed key concepts to sociology including **class consciousness** and the **means of production**. Class consciousness refers to the awareness of one's own class interests and conflicts between social classes. The means of production refers to the resources, capital, and labor used to produce goods or services. Marx's concepts of class consciousness and the means of production are relevant to understanding modern social and economic issues.
