The Marxist Perspective on the Family: Key points and criticisms for A-level sociology in four pictures:
1. The Marxist Perspective on Society (A Reminder!)
2. Engel’s Theory of how The Nuclear Family Emerged with Capitalism (and Private Property)
3. Three Ideological Functions of the Contemporary Nuclear Family
4. Three Criticisms of the Marxist View of the Family
Although I generally agree with the Marxist view of the family, I think it misses the love that can be shared by close family members. Most people like family.
