Functionalism or Marxism? FUN FUN FUN FUN.


 Which of these theories explain our society better and will continue to do so in the future? In my opinion, Marixism just doesn't work out. Yes, the working class is continually exploited, but I cannot see the world evolving into a classless society. Marxist believe that capitalism is bad since it causes so many people to live in poverty. Not everyone can be equal, that's just how the world works. Functionalism explains this. The functionalist theory accounts for the process of socialization and explains the roles each person plays in society.  Functionalism does a much better job at explaining society and will continue to do so. Marxism is the spawn of the devil.   Marxism is bad.

Republican Primary

Mitt Romney

      The Republican Primary is when a vote is taken by the party to nominate someone who they see as fitting to be a presidential candidate. I'm not all that into politics so this is the first time I've ever heard of something like this. This primary has been recently held in Florida. The two leading competitors were Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Results show that Romney as won in the Florida Polls. 

    He won 54 per cent of the Hispanic vote, brushing off attacks from Newt that he was the most "anti-immigrant" candidate in the race. He won 51 percent of women's votes compared to 
Gingrich's 28. The largest population that 
contributed to his votes were the rich, with 
61 percent supporting him. 


      It has now been reported that he also won in the Nevada poll.
