Communism is a system in which a nation’s economic and social activity is inhibited by a perpetual political party (Dhar, 2014). Equality is valued upon a communist nation as it is believed that every civilian, regardless of their demographic, should be given uniformed opportunities (Dhar, 2014).. Moreover, in the ideology of communists, it is believed that economic inequality is the cause of social strain and can only be eliminated through the nationalization of private property and businesses (Dhar, 2014).. The year 1953 marked the beginning of a significant time period for the Cuban nation as Fidel Castro united with his allies to overthrow the former Cuban President, Fulgencio Batista (McKelvey, 2014). Batista was detested by many of the

Prior to the revolution, women suffered relentless oppression as they endured: dismal, illiteracy, unemployment and sexism by being treated as inferior to men (Hinze, n.d.). All women were discriminated and were treated unfairly as they were only offered low paying and demeaning jobs such as becoming servants or being forced into prostitution (Hinze, n.d.). However, gender relations and women’s way of life slowly began to transform as Fidel Castro, a feminist, became the governor of Cuba (Sheehan & Jermyn). In addition, to initiating a revolution within the nation, Castro also emphasized his efforts towards liberating women from the capitalist society “The Cuban Revolution Impact on Cuba”. As a result, new regulations were instilled to provide women with equal rights, employment and educational opportunities as men (Hinze, n.d.). The concept of gender is relevant to the discipline of anthropology. Since the 1970s, feminist anthropologists have theorized that values regarding gender roles were influenced primarily through culture instead of biology (Baboolal, personal communication, 2016). Although biological components are a contributing factor of one’s characteristic it should not be determinative to how one decides to live their life (Antrosio, n.d.). Rather, anthropologists believe that …show more content…
Behaviourism is the doctrine that human behaviour is obtained through conditioning (Cherry, 2015). Conditioning can be defined as the process by which behaviour is acquired through the response of a given environment (“Marxist Psychology”, 2002). For example, in Cuba during the revolution, civilians responded to the circumstances of their environment by following Fidel Castro’s riot to overthrow the former President, Fulgencio Batista (“Marxist Psychology”, 2002). Essentially, the Cubans exercised their free will to choose their society, ultimately allowing them to determine their behaviour (“Marxist Psychology”, 2002). Furthemore, there are two major forms of conditioning. A response that is generated through the consistent motivation of attaining an incentive refers to classical conditioning (Cherry, 2015). Operant conditioning refers to the relationship between behaviours and the aftermath (Cherry, 2015). In terms of the revolution, the proletariat in Cuba take up a majority of the nation's population (Trueman, 2015). As a result, their decision to support Fidel Castro’s revolution had a significant impact as civilians realized that by becoming a communist state everyone will finally be able to attain the same level of economic opportunities as the bourgeois (Trueman, 2015). This action shows that the proletarians’ mindsets have been influenced by have obtained
