Animal Farm

The pigs are the bourgeoisies' and all the other animals are the proletariats' because the pigs are giving the orders and not working. The pigs are taking control and giving the other animals excuses and saying that they are the "brains" so it is making the other animals think that they are working in all reality they are just eating the food that the other animals process. In the beginning the bourgeoisies' were the farmers and the workers because they were controlling the animals and using them to farm the land and using them for their meat. The animals got tired of the farmers controlling them so they retaliated and then the pigs started controlling them. The pigs not only took control and didn't do anything but they started changing the rules as they went and soon they were even walking on two legs, reading human magazines, and even talking on the telephone. The animals had a commandment that said all animals are treated equal and the pigs added but some are treated better. The pigs did nothing but benefitted from doing nothing, they wanted to change but then greed got the best of them.


The conflict theory had to with pretty much conflict like disagreements that could eventually lead to war. The first reason why they wanted to get out of the control of the farmer was because of being controlled and after that they pretty much went to war with the farmer protecting their rights as animals but that all ended when the pigs became the bourgeoisie.


The functionalist theory pretty much is the ability to function and that is doing so without conflict but right away the pigs were functioning well then they decided they could get more power and more power so they kept taking all the power they could get. They took the milk for themselves then the apples and even the farmers house with they said no one should ever use. The pigs were so scared of getting over thrown they even got dogs to protect them.


The animals did not reach a healthy balance because a lot of animals were doing most of the work while the pigs sat around and ate food and told the animals what to do. Boxer did most of the work and got the same amount of food as everyone else while he did 5x the work and was 3x as big as everyone I think boxer deserved more food and more time off. I think old major performed well and the pigs should of learned from that but as soon as they got the taste of power they ran with in or sat with it one or the other.
