Strengths :

Marxist theory looks at society as a whole, therefore acknowledging all the social forces involved.

It recognises the power interests of different groups.

Is good at explaining conflict and change in society.

Stresses the role of class struggle (conflict) within society between the proletariat (workers) and the bourgeoisie (owners).

Recognises that society is organised under capitalism, in that the bourgeoisie aim to maximise profit by exploiting the proletariat.

Weaknesses :

Marxist theory finds it difficult to explain the presence of certain phenomena (for example Kerry Katona has lots of money but is from a working class background).

It overlooks the idea that other factors may help to shape society.
