O True O False

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

It is true that according to Karl Marx and Feidrich Engels, the present society now has more classes in society in conflict. This can be called Class conflict or class struggle, which is the tension or opposition in society or a struggle between two or more classes. Karl Marx's Conflict Theory is based on his work which focused two classes of people; the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. In the modern times the word "patrician" is a vague term used for the higher bourgeoisie.

The bourgeoisie were capitalists, wealth producers, owners of factories, businesses. While the proletariat were the working class and the poor. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels say that there has been a struggle between these two classes for most of history, however the present society is now more complicated such that there are now more classes in society with conflict.
