• 4 functions of the family by engles in 1884
• one of the 4 functions is the economic = inheritance keeps the wealth in family
• one of the 4 functions is "zaretsky 1973" is how the in the family the WC have power and control due to the man being the king at home he holds a low status at work but high status in the home
• one of the functions is how in a capitalist society the major adult female role is being a house work (unpaid) and low status
• one of the functions is the unit of consumption buying goods and services
• hegemony is a powerful set of ideas that seem like common sense however benefit the ruling class
• an idea of an ideology is religion or science
• false conciousness= WC do not realise they are being exploited by the ruling class
• The families reproduce the labour force of workers
• The family teaches obidendence and disipline used in the workforce to control WC
• The family supresses the social revoultion of overthrowing the ruling class due to a family to look after and protect
• The ruling class ensure that society sees the"nuclear family", as the NATURAL way to live
• Women are reserve army of labour force due to no real job expect unpaid house/emotion work
• The nuclear family aids capitalism
• Family members are socialised / controlled through idelogies.
• Marxists argue there is class conflict in society instead of consensus
• the nuclear family aids the capitalist system by providing workers
• The ruling class say that "the family" produce low levels of trouble in kids and high level of educational achievement
• The family provides a haven from the harsh world of capitalism
• Marxists show a critical view of society
