Task 4:Group 4 AMD6PC

State four diffrences with examples between Karl Marx and Ralf Dahrendof.....

1. First differences in the Karl Marx, he stated that the importance to achieve the perfect society.We can see when he said"without conflict, no progress": this is the law which civilization has followed to the present day. It concerned with the conflict among group.Conflict is a normal condition of social life whose nature and variations are some of the most important things to be described and analyzed it by social science. Conflict must inseparable with changed.When exists the conflict it means the achieving of perfect society.As example:computation of national income.His approach remains an important,influential, and viable one in contemporary social,economic and political thought.
However, in the Ralf Dahrendof he stated that there is no perfect society.These theorist clearly stated that it still have the conflict but the conflict can stop when the people compromising among each other.When the conflict end there is no perfect society and there is class of society. Examples conflict between workers and manager in unionization process.

2.Second diferrences that we can see in the Karl Marx, he stated that there is means of production.Under the means of production there is Bourgeois and Protetariats.Bourgeois is where is the society have everything such as wealth,capital resources,technology, labor to produce goods and resources.Whereas Protetariats they have nothing seem like Bourgeois, thats why they only work for them.Example we can see on the gap between the rich and poor.
However,in the Ralf Dahrendof he stated that people who have power will use their power and authority to conduct other people to done their work.On the other side there is the people that been under the conduct of people that has power. Examples: the relationship between managers and subordinates.

3. Third differences is economic production that been stated by Karl Marx.
He stated that economic system is the ultimate source of social behavior and social institution.
Also concerned with conflict among groups that have different relationship to the means of production.
An economic conflict leads to further social and political conflicts as each group seeks to further its own interests at the expense of other group.
Emphasis on conflict and economically based on power and rank.
The example: those who are wealth will gain a highest status in society as respected by the member of society, while for those who are poor will be categorized in low or middle class.
However, Ralf Dahrendorf stated that is division of Authority.
He stated that it was unequal distribution of authority after reject the Marxian idea of social class. Groups in society are seen as divided into who have that authority or who do not. It get into conflict because of division of authority is interested in preserving the status quo (whereas the subordinate group is interested in change. He saw conflict as a problem of unequal authority in all sectors of society in contrast to the strict Marxian notion of classes. Conflict in a given society is not comes from internal contradiction arising in historical development but from pressures to used power by the other societies. The example: those who have a lot of power will have more power and ability to control those who are have less power.

4. the last differences is

CONFLICT and COMPROMISE

Karl Marx
In Karl Marx point of view, conflict is a very important element in developing a changes in the social aspect. Karl Marx came up with the theory that without conflict the society would be still. Karl Marx believes that conflict is the developing mechanism that will bring changes in the society. Marx emphasize that in every society whatever its stage of historical development, rest on an economic foundation.

To make it easier for you to understand, we provide the example.
In the case that involve Proletariats and Bourgeois. The conflict cause the class struggle in the society in order for them to win the material wealth (economy) whereby the Bourgeois hold more wealth and resources compare to the Poletariats who are not accompanied with those wealth and property. The conflict occur will cause the both parties to compete with one another to gain more wealth and they tried to destroyed the other party in order to take control.According to Marx, the conflict was based on factors of production and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. Conflict will continously happen between these two groups to win over material wealth.

Ralf Dahrendorf
In Dahrendorf case, he agreed with what have been stated by Marx but in contrast conflict to him cannot be wholly referred to the struggle to gain control over the fundamentals of production in the economy. According to Dahrendorf the conflict which originated from the transformed relationship between the well of and the deprived would contribute to the change in the structure of the society. He also deviated from Marx who claimed that ultimately the struggle will end with the victory of the Proletariats. On the contrary, he claimed that conflict within a society is almost unresolved but could be controlled through compromise.

For example, those who are well to do acts as patrons to those who are poor. The poor on the other hand would continue to be deprived until there are able to accumulates abilities and becoming organized to gain legitimacy through struggles with the privileged group.Thus, this conflict would contribute to the change in the structure of societies. Thus, only compromisation will balance the status class and the position in the society.
