Which of the following statements accurately describes the conflict perspective used to analyze education?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conflict perspective is based on the idea that there are conflicting group interests and goals in society. Both Max Weber and Karl Marx have applied the conflict perspective to education. Weber focused on how education serves to train people to fit into particular statuses, while Marx viewed education as a tool for the capitalists to produce disciplined workers. Therefore, option D, which says both A and B are correct, but not C, is the correct answer. Option C is incorrect as it offers an inaccurate description of the conflict perspective, and the conflict perspective does not view education as promoting an ideology of collective action and cooperation.
