​Functionalist and Marxist view of social control

​Funtionalist belive that social control is needed to prevent anomie that is a normless situation where society doesn't know what is right or wrong, Emile Durkhime mentioned that. Society also needs collective conscience, that is a shared set of beliefs, ideas, and moral attitudes that act as a unifying force and then Emile Durkhime mentioned a tribe in australia unifying over a pillar worshipping it.

​Marxist and functionalist view of society

​Marxist have a very much diffrent view of society the think norms and values and social control is used by the rulling class to keep their wealth and power. With the use of ideological and represive state appartus to prsude and make us confrom, ideological state appartus such as schools and religon will presude and it's technacaly brainwashing with false consciousness playing a role. If they don't conform Represive state appartus will make them conform with the use of coresion.
