the structure of economic power rather than patterns of conflict and cooperation.

It is known as a
conflict theory because it states a society is in conflict with each other. And marxism claims that this
conflict is between rich and the poor.

To have a deeper knowledge about marxism let us know the opposite of it which is capitalism it
reprpresent the type of state that you and I live in today.

In marx term it is an economic system based on private ownership in the means of production. Which
means that our society today is based on a few people who own factories businesses shops and other
corporations arent owned by the people who work for them. Jointly employees and owner but the
owner whose the only one who are gaining a wealth.

Thats why karl marx formulate his theories when the industrial revolution a time when britain and other
countries where going through a very dramatic change. The old feudal system when lords of the

Poverty was rampant and the streets were full of maltreatment of the poor and alienation of the lower
class. And the state in global south engage in trading with parts of global north that results unequal
benefits where in global north tend to dominate and exploit global south.

For Marx, social change or globalization was brought about by class conflict.

It is the conflict between the different classes of people that brings changes in the state most especially
those developing countries.

Marx divided the industrialized state into two classes:

Industrialized meaning country or economy that has many businesses and factories involved in
producing goods and products
Bourgeoisie – who serves as the capitalists, the owners of businesses.

Proletariat - the ones who have nothing to offer but their manual labor, the laborers.

Marx believed that the conflict will continue as long as the capitalists are the ones dictating the social
order because of wealth, fame and affluence are the ones dictating the affairs of the state to the
prejudice of the lower class who have nothing but poverty and their brute strength.

The conflict will soon be abated and there will be stability in the state when the lower class rise into
power through revolution that will overturn all events and will bring balance, stability and equality
among the people rich or poor.

Hence a classless society will be born.

Because of his radical and revolutionary ideas, he was forced to live in exile and isolation because the
capitalistic regime of the industrialized world cannot accept his volatile conception of truth about social
order.

On March 14, 1883, Karl Marx the champion of socialism and equality died of a severe illness.

Discourse- written or spoken communication

Debunks- giving less importance

The post modernism approaches debunks the ideas of hierarchy, dogmas or existing structures in global
relations. One of the theories in post modernism is the idea of discourse power which is the idea of the
french historian philosopher namely michel Foucault. Through discourse they can improve knowledge
and through that knowledge is the power of truth. It gives emphasis that if someone knows the truth
through the means of their language they can illustrate power relations

Another theory is the deconstructivism it is a relationship between text and meanings. Main example
here are the codes where in people used it in order to communicate and established revolution about
global relations. The proponent of this theory is Jacques Derrida
