Pluralist Perspective Paragraph

However, a pluralist perspective would argue that we live in a classless society. One where there is no control made by the elite, and is simply in the hands of the people within the society. The creation of the internet has allowed the spectrum to shift for a Marxist society to a pluralist society as the people have a voice to go up against those at the top. As Briggs and Burke said "the most important medium of the twentieth century". This is absolutely right as it is thanks to the internet that society now has a voice, a bigger voice to challenge big institutions and figure heads in the media. New and digital platform has brought about change of authority and has made the audience more dominant. That is why there has been a significant shift in the Marxist perspective because the elite are being challenged and can no longer inflict their ideologies to keep society under control. In fact, it is the opposite way now, where it is the elite who are losing control and are losing the ability to maintain society. For example, figure heads have now developed from society let alone the elite such as, YouTuber's. These are people who interact with other people by creating videos and generally reach over 5 million active followers. These single people can have a major influence on institutions. If they have a problem, or have experienced injustice, they can call out the elite have a major impact on them. This shows how pluralism is more of the dominant in today's society as there is little, if not, any prejudice towards different classes because it simply does not exist anymore for people to care about.
