Marxist Theory on the role of culture…
• Example – Hate groups “blame” certain people for a society’s problems, they shift attention away from the ruling class.
• Look at the Frankfurt School Theory…
Culture in society reflects ruling-class ideology. It expresses the distorted view of the world put forward by the dominant class and is important in maintaining the system of social inequality that exist in capitalist society.
According to Marx, people are not aware that they are being dominated (False consciousness) meaning that people hold beliefs that they think promote their best interest when in fact they are damaging.

Functionalist Theory on the role of culture …• Culture of society reflects the shared values of that
society. (Value Consensus) Society needs a shared culture to run effectively, and various agencies play their part in socializing members of society.
• Functionalism interprets each part of society in terms of how it contributes to the stability of the whole society.
• Society is more than the sum of its parts; rather, each part of society is functional for the stability of the whole society.
• The different parts are primarily the institutions of society, each of which is organized to fill different needs and each of which has particular consequences for the form and shape of society. The parts all depend on each other.

Functionalist Theory on the role of culture …• Strengths:• It focuses on the needs of society and the fact that
stability is essential for a society’s continued success.
• Weaknesses.• Overemphasizes harmony and cooperation.• Does NOT acknowledge all the societal factors that
contribute to conflict.
