Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Karl Marx identifies the two classes of society under capitalism as the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The basis of the conflict between these two classes is the bourgeoisie's greater access to special resources that Marx refers to as capital. Capital allows the bourgeoisie to make investments, own property, and hire workers. The proletariat, or working class, must seek employment and sell their labor to make ends meet. This social arrangement has a polarizing effect on these two groups, resulting in inequality.The owners and executive of large corporations that control the production and distributions of goods, services, and cultural ideas are modern-day examples of the bourgeoisie; everyone else in society would be equivalent to the proletariat.
