This document discusses several major political ideologies including liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and others. It defines ideology as "an interrelated set of ideas that in some way guides or inspires political action." Liberalism focuses on individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and a limited government role, while conservatism emphasizes tradition, gradual change, and social order. Socialism promotes collectivism, equality, and opposition to capitalism. The document also examines post-ideological politics, where clear ideological differences are less apparent and single-issue groups are more common.
The document provides an overview of the core doctrines and history of socialism, including:
1. Socialism is based on an optimistic view of human nature and a belief that humans operate best cooperatively in social groups through collectivism and egalitarianism.
2. There are two main strands of socialism - revolutionary socialism which seeks a complete overthrow of capitalism, and evolutionary socialism which seeks gradual reform through democratic means.
3. Utopian socialists in the 19th century tried to build ideal socialist societies, while Marxism sees socialism as inevitable due to conflicts between economic classes.
Marxism is a political theory and framework advocating for a socialist mode of production and class struggle leading to a communist society. Socialism involves public ownership of major industries and a transition between capitalism and communism. Communism aims for a stateless, classless society with common ownership and "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." These ideologies have influenced politics and policies in various countries, including forms of welfare states and India's mixed economy.
Marxism is an intellectual tradition based on the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that analyzes history, capitalism, and envisions a post-capitalist future. Marxism sees society as defined by class struggles over control of production. Marx argued capitalism would inevitably be replaced by socialism - where workers collectively control production - and eventually communism, with a stateless, classless, and moneyless society.
According to conflict theory, society is made up of groups that compete for limited resources. The document discusses key aspects of conflict theory including Marx's view of the worker-owner relationship under capitalism and the idea of class consciousness and struggle. It also summarizes Marx's view of historical stages involving modes of production and class structures from primitive communism to full communism.

The document discusses key aspects of conflict theory including Marx's view of the worker-owner relationship under capitalism and the idea of class consciousness and struggle. It also summarizes Marx's view of historical stages involving modes of production and class structures from primitive communism to full communism.
Conflict theory views society as characterized by inequality and power struggles among groups that compete for scarce resources. It was developed as an alternative to functionalism by Marx, Weber, Simmel and later theorists. Marx saw society as divided into two main classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, who struggle over economic resources. Weber and Simmel expanded on this to argue that power can also be gained through social prestige and political influence. Modern conflict theorists like Coser, Dahrendorf, and Mills applied these ideas to analyze power structures and social change in the post-World War II era.
Gramsci was an Italian Marxist philosopher who developed the theory of cultural hegemony while imprisoned under Mussolini. He argued that the ruling class maintains control through both force (the state) and consent manufactured using civil society institutions. Intellectuals play a key role in producing and disseminating the ideologies that create this consent. Gramsci believed the working class could challenge capitalist hegemony by developing counter-hegemonic ideologies that appeal to broader segments of society and present an alternative vision of the social order.
Karl Marx analyzed the development of class structures throughout history. In primitive communism, members shared resources collectively. As social relationships and productive forces developed, two main classes emerged - the bourgeoisie who owned the means of production, and the proletariat who were laborers. Under capitalism, the minority bourgeoisie exploited the majority proletariat for profit. Workers became alienated and developed class consciousness of their situation. Marx argued this would lead to revolution and establishment of a classless society with social ownership. Later theorists like Gramsci and Althusser expanded on Marx's ideas, focusing on how ruling ideologies maintain capitalist hegemony and how economic, political, and ideological structures determine social conditions.
This document provides an overview of sociology and its history and key concepts. It discusses how sociology developed out of the works of early philosophers and scholars seeking to better understand society. Some of the major thinkers discussed include Comte, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Simmel. It also summarizes the main theoretical perspectives in sociology including functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism.
Marxism consists of three components: a political doctrine, a philosophy of history, and an analysis of the economy. Marx believed that the economic base of society, or how wealth is produced, determines the social and political superstructure. As productive technologies change, new class relations emerge between workers and owners. Capitalism relies on wage labor and private control of production, creating an inherent conflict of interests between workers and owners. This leads to capitalism's inevitable collapse due to falling profits, overproduction, and unemployment as workers cannot afford the goods they produce.
The document outlines several different political ideologies:
1) Liberalism stresses individual rights, decentralized government, personal freedom, and reducing inequities. John Locke and John Stuart Mill believed in equal and independent humans with inalienable rights.
2) Conservatism believes in respecting past traditions and gradual reforms. Edmund Burke believed in a hierarchical society with leadership given to those most qualified.
3) Socialism and Marxism are based on class struggle and public ownership over resources for the benefit of all. Karl Marx believed capitalism could only be overthrown through class struggle leading to a classless society.
Antonio Gramsci discusses politics and culture. He argues that the working class needs to develop its own culture to overcome the notion that bourgeois values are natural. This includes cultural organizations for workers to discuss politics, economics, philosophy and more. Gramsci also stresses the importance of education and developing proletarian culture through economic and political organization, as well as cultural means. He theorizes that ruling classes maintain control not just through force but also ideologically by making their values seem like common sense through hegemonic culture.
This document discusses Karl Marx and conflict theory. It provides an overview of Marx's life and ideas, including his view that society is defined by conflicts between social classes competing over scarce resources. It outlines some of Marx's key concepts, such as how the division of labor leads to economic classes and class struggle. The document also discusses early and modern approaches to conflict theory, how it explains social change and inequality, and provides an analysis of how Marx viewed religion in relation to social conflicts.
Socialism is envisioned, created, governed, and approved by the people. It is based on public ownership of the means of production and cooperative social relations and self-management, as envisioned by thinkers like Fourier, Marx, and Lenin. While utopias like Thomas More's concept of Utopia and the Garden of Eden are unrealistic, capitalism has led to a dystopia where wealth belongs to individuals rather than mankind in general.
Conflict theory views society as consisting of groups that compete over scarce resources. Marx saw society as divided into two main classes - the bourgeoisie who own capital, and the proletariat who must sell their labor. This leads to conflict and political/economic oppression as the bourgeoisie use the state to protect their interests. Functionalism views society as a system of interrelated parts that work together to maintain stability and equilibrium. When change occurs, other parts adjust to bring society back into balance. Both theories see the economic base as determining social and political structures.
This document discusses the concept of "We Media" and how contemporary media has become more or less democratic. It provides learning objectives about We Media and where it has emerged. It aims to explore Marxist and conflict theories of media, including the ideas of Gramsci, Chomsky, and the role of media as the fourth estate of democracy. Key concepts discussed include cultural hegemony, Karl Marx's views on capitalism, and Noam Chomsky's theories about media control and democracy. Students are tasked with further exploring conflict theory through research and creating a mind map. Homework involves creating a fact page about Chomsky's theories on media and democracy.
Marxism is a political and economic theory derived from Karl Marx's work analyzing capitalism. It views society as split between the bourgeoisie who own capital and the proletariat who must sell their labor. Marx argued that in capitalist societies, the economic base of wealth pursuit supports a superstructure of institutions like media that legitimize inequality by creating false consciousness among the proletariat. Later theorists like Gramsci developed the idea of hegemony, where the ruling class uses institutions like media to promote their ideologies as common sense. Marxists view media as serving capitalist interests by pacifying the masses and naturalizing the status quo.
- Marx analyzed society through historical materialism, arguing that economic conditions and class struggle drive historical change. He believed capitalism would inevitably be overthrown and communism established.
- Weber saw the rise of capitalism and rationalization as driven by Protestant ethics like the Calvinist belief in predestination. He argued this led to disenchantment and an "iron cage" of bureaucracy.
- Durkheim viewed society as an external reality that shapes individuals. He analyzed how the division of labor in modern societies led to both organic solidarity and potential anomie if natural abilities were not matched to social functions.
The document defines socialism and communism, noting that socialism focuses on meeting the basic needs of society as a whole rather than individuals, while communism focuses on meeting individuals' basic needs. It provides background on the origins and introduction of socialism in the 19th century in Western Europe. Both positive and negative aspects of socialism are discussed, including criticisms that socialist economies are inefficient and can restrict civil liberties, as well as benefits like reducing inequality. Examples are given of countries that have practiced socialism.
This document discusses Marxist and Gramscian concepts of ideology and hegemony. It explains that according to Marxism, the dominant ideology in a society supports the interests of the ruling class and is promoted through institutions like the media. Gramsci expanded on this by introducing the concept of cultural hegemony, where the ruling class maintains power by promoting ideologies through institutions and making them seem universal. The document provides examples of dominant ideologies like capitalism and patriotism, and explains how the media can reinforce these ideologies and create "false consciousness" among subordinate classes.
Lesson 8 - Marxism, cultural hegemony and the effects theoryElle Sullivan
This document discusses Marxist views of media and ideology. It explains that according to Marxism, the media is used by ruling classes to propagate dominant ideologies that maintain the status quo and induce false consciousness in the working classes. Gramsci expanded on this by introducing the concept of cultural hegemony, where dominant social groups establish norms that benefit them through institutions like media and education. The document also discusses effects theories of media, including the hypodermic needle model, and how they have contributed to moral panics over media effects.
The document provides an overview of different forms of socialism, including Marxism, democratic socialism, social democracy, and the Third Way approach of New Labour. It discusses the ideological evolution of the British Labour Party from its socialist roots to a more centrist social democratic platform under Tony Blair and outlines ongoing debates about the party's direction.
Conflict theory proposes that society is shaped by power struggles between social groups and classes. It asserts that social order is maintained through domination and control of non-dominant groups by dominant groups. Conflict arises from inequalities in power and resources and drives social change. Key aspects of conflict theory include that power is unequally distributed in society, social change occurs through conflict, and groups compete over scarce resources.
The document discusses key aspects of conflict theory as proposed by Marx, Weber, Simmel, and modern conflict theorists like Coser and Dahrendorf. Some main points include: Marx saw society as divided between the bourgeoisie and proletariat engaged in economic class struggle. Weber and Simmel expanded on this to argue that power differences can also stem from social prestige and political influence. Modern conflict theorists examined how conflict serves functions like social change and group cohesion, and is an inherent part of relationships rather than instability. Power elites use coercion to maintain social order according to some views.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Writing Sample: "Collective and Individual Rights"
1. Collective and Individual Rights (Marx, Mill, and Toqueville)
(INTRODUCTION; THESIS) Individual liberties and societal equality are both equally
paramount, but it’s also important to note that both have to have the same amount of focus because
ultimately, one cannot exist without the other.
Society is usually divided into different factions according to different characteristics that
associate with race, religion, gender, etc. Marx displays how society is divided according to
socioeconomic factors. The class structure that he describes has been existent since the Middle
Ages. This structure was arranged so that feudal lords were at the top followed by vassals, guild-
masters, journeymen, apprentices, and then serfs. Class structure evolved since then to the point
when, according to Marx, there were only two prevalent classes standing: the Bourgeoisie and the
Proletariat.
The rise of the modern Bourgeoisie came as a result of the rise of the Industrial Revolution.
Industrial millionaires replaced the industrial middle class from the medieval structure, and these
millionaires gained significant political sway. The Bourgeoisie is characterized solely by self-
interest, and therefore use their political sway for their own political gain. The Bourgeoisie’s rise
to power gave way to all kinds of societal changes. Personal worth became measured by the
amount of money one had instead of personal ethics or values. The Bourgeoisie had also changed
the value of occupations; all occupations became wage-laboring professions and obtaining a job
became a competition.
The changes in the work force affected the second class that Marx talks about, the
Proletariat. As a result of the industrial world created by the Bourgeoisie, the workers live only as
long as they can find work. They depend on the capital that they gain from their labor to provide
for themselves and their families. The Bourgeoisie exploits this need for work for their own
2. personal gain. Because the value of the members of the Bourgeoisie class is determined by the
their monetary value, they did everything in their power to increase their capital and curb the
amount of money they spend on the factories and labor they own. They paid their workers as little
as possible and forced them to work in terrible and stifling conditions. They forced them to work
long hours with no breaks so that their manufacture rate, and profit, increased.
The exploitation of a group of people is why it is necessary to protect collective rights and
strive towards equality. There are several cases in which certain groups have their rights infringed
upon by other members of society. After the emergence of Protestantism in the 1600s, the Catholic
majority constantly persecuted those who practiced the Protestant belief. Freedom of religion is
considered to be a collective right because it affects a large group of individuals. If this freedom
is not protected, then either people will only be allowed to practice one religion or no religion at
all. As seen with the Protestants, persecution of a certain religious group can lead to terrible
inhumane acts of violence.
In Marx’s case, it is the working class that is suffering the violation of their basic rights to
a good living wage and appropriate working conditions. While presenting his Communist
ideology, Marx states that, “The immediate aim of the Communists is the same as that of all the
other proletariat parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, the overthrow of the bourgeois
supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat” (Marx 22). Similar to religious
persecution, the exploitation of a certain class can lead to tremendous consequences. In Marx’s
words, the exploitation and lack of protection of the working class and their rights could lead to a
revolution that could turn out massive in scope and bloody in scale.
Marx’s perspective leads one to believe in the immense importance of collective rights.
However, as important as collective rights are they do not triumph over individual rights. There
3. are several liberties outlined by other philosophers and the Constitution that are essential to the
individual. In On Liberty, Mill specifically refers to the freedom of opinion and expression.
Freedom of expression is an individual right that must be protected. According to Mill, it would
be wrong to silence someone who held a particular opinion because it robs “the human race,
posterity as well as the existing generation” (Mill 14).
Mill states in his work that, “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one
person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one
person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind” (Mill 14). Silencing
an individual’s opinion is wrong for several reasons. For one, the suppressed opinion may be true,
and by discovering something true the person may have performed a great service to his or her
society. After all, dissenting opinions are often times the leading causes of great revolutions such
as the American or French Revolutions. They are also the reasons why important works about the
political and social components in society such as The Communist Manifesto exist in the first place.
Opinions must differ and be debated upon because otherwise the meaning of the “ruling” opinion
may be lost. For example, when religious beliefs stop being challenged they lose their “living
power”. People will not truly understand the doctrines they believe in which can lead to some
serious mistakes.
Mill not only stresses the importance of individual opinions, but also of the contents of
these opinions. He states, … (BLOCK QUOTE) … Simply put, the more eccentric the opinion the
better. The amount of eccentricity of an opinion displays the amount of individual thinking that is
encouraged in a society. If an eccentric opinion is freely expressed, it reflects on the genius and
mental vigor that the society in which the opinion exists. However, if eccentric opinions are not
encouraged in a society, then it mirrors the values that this society does and doesn’t encourage.
4. In many regimes, freedom of opinion and expression is repressed to the point where no one
can express any dissenting opinion. Regimes like these are usually despotic and authoritarian in
nature. They are often times the regimes that have the most problems with religious persecution
and wealth inequality among their socioeconomic classes. Therefore, reducing limits on freedom
of expression can lead to great progress in human society. Most of the time it’s difficult for the
truth to triumph over persecution. For instance, the reformation of the Catholic Church was put
down twenty times before Martin Luther was successful. In The Communist Manifesto, Marx’s
revolution of the Proletariat can only be made possible by the expression of opinion over the
oppression of the working class.
Contributing complete focus and protection to either collective rights or individual rights
is a tempting idea. When collective rights are completely protected it creates equality amongst the
people. When individual rights are protected it allows for increased free expression. However,
there is a flaw in this type of thinking. In his book Democracy in America, Tocqueville talks about
equality and personal freedoms. As much as he champions equality in society, he acknowledges
that, “…men may not become absolutely equal without being wholly free” (Tocqueville 584s).
Equality has both a positive connotation and a negative connotation. In the positive sense, equality
refers to equal liberties among the people. In the negative sense, however, it refers to uniformity.
In a society where everyone is equal at the expense of their personal liberties, there are no diverse
thoughts and ideas because freedoms such as expression and religion are suppressed.
The balance of equality and individual freedoms is especially important in democratic
societies. Tocqueville states that, “...democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left
to themselves, they will seek it, cherish it, and view any privation of it with regret. But for equality,
their passion is ardent, insatiable, incessant, invincible: they call for equality in freedom; and if
5. they cannot obtain that, they still call for equality in slavery” (Tocqueville 587). People living in
democratic societies will attempt to achieve equality in liberty with great strides. This is why it’s
important for people to be the same in some ways and in other cases be completely different.
Tocqueville writes that the formation of institutions is crucial to society, and religion is an example
of such institutions. Being a member of different institutions is important because it allows for the
circulation of new thoughts and ideas. This in turn contributes to the influence that individual rights
can have over collective rights, such as freedom of religion.
However, in a society where both individual and collective rights exist, both require limits.
Collective rights should be protected but limited to the point where they don’t interfere with the
rights of another group or individual liberties. While industrial tycoons should be allowed to pursue
to profit it should not be so unlimited that it could infringe on the rights of their workers. At the
same time, individuals are not completely isolated from society, and therefore certain conduct is
required in return for the protection of society. While individual actions and expression should be
encouraged, both must be limited when they harm others. In these cases, legal persecution of
opinions is allowed because it protects the safety of the majority while still maintaining the
protection of the individual right.
Collective and individual rights are both paramount to the function of society. Collective
rights protect a certain group from being targeted and oppressed, while individual rights protect
each and every member of society. There is no sense in focusing on just one concept, because
ultimately one cannot exist without the other. Individual rights encourage the spread of ideas that
influence and protect collective rights while collective rights place limits on individual liberties to
prevent any harm they may cause to others. The ultimate goal of a society is to make sure that
every group and individual has an equality of liberties.
