Answer to Question 1

Marx felt the key to human history was based on class struggle. In every society, there is a small group that controls the means of production and exploits those who do not. In industrialized society, this struggle is between the bourgeoisie (the small group of capitalists who own the means to produce wealth) and the proletariat (the workers who are exploited by the capitalists). The capitalists are in control of society's resources and can wield political power over workers if they rebel.

Answer to Question 2

Freud's elements of personality are not observable or measurable. Their very existence cannot even be proven. Sociological factors are all observable, and many of them are measurable. In view of this, Freud's theory violates one of the major requirements of a theory  that it is testable. It is also noted that Freud's theory can be subjectively interpreted.
