    sport has become so globalized and commercialized that it is often exempt from critique or thoughtful reflection. Therefore‚ I will analyze contemporary sport through the lenses of two contradictory yet profound theoretical approaches: Marxism and Interactionism. Marxism is a philosophy that critiques class struggles under a capitalistic society.

    As a sociological discipline‚ functionalism is counterposed to Marxism. However it shares with Marxism the importance of ‘totality’ and the corresponding view that scientific inquiry is based upon the interdependence of parts within a whole. It is important to distinguish why the Marxian use of the totality differs significantly from functionalist systems. Primarily this involves the Marxian emphasis on the contradictory character of the whole and the treatment of the social totality from the perspective

    Sociological Concepts and Perspectives: Functionalism and Marxism In this essay I am going to compare and contrast Functionalism and Marxism.

Social systems were dissected into their parts‚ or institutions (family‚ education‚ economy‚ polity‚ and religion)‚ and these parts were examined to find out how they worked and their importance for the larger social system. The idea of the functionalists was to create a science of society that could examine the parts of human social systems and make them
