1) What, according to Marx in The Communist Manifesto, must one understand in order to understand the course of historical development? What, in other words, is it that moves history along? The Communist Manifesto opens to the reader by stating, “The history of all hitherto societies has been the history of class struggles”, meaning that there is a perpetual tug-of-war struggle between class status between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat (Marx, 1).

Nobody wanted their children to work and to not be getting an education so things had to change. Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto so that the world could hear what he has to say about how owners of the factories and business men could become rich.

They got higher wages, better conditions, and got their children out of the factories and back in school. The Communist Manifesto said “Free education for all children in public schools.…

(Marx, Karl and Engels Frederick. “The Communist Manifesto.” February, 1848: 11.)

I agree with your conflict perspective that conflict is a part of everyday life across all societies and can benefit society in forcing change much like Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto inspired. (p11) Your example of gangs fighting for power and being involved in many conflicts could also be a part of dysfunctions functionalist by providing scenarios that would increase the need for police officer to patrol and intervene in the conflicts that arise from rival gangs. More gang conflict would cause a need for more police officers. This view could also span across to the functionalist view where the police officers who are dealing with gans and the conflict on a daily basis work with the judges and other members in the judicial system…
Author, feminist and Orthodox Jew, Blu Greenberg correctly asserts that , “where there 's a rabbinic will, there 's a halakhic way”because traditional interpretations of Halakhah prove to be an affront to God, This is significant because it limits the Jewish peoples hopes for equality, feminism and most dramatically intimacy with God. Greenberg maintains that by refusing to ordain female rabbis, Jews are missing an opportunity within their community for equality. Jews have been using the Torah and halakhah to justify positions and decisions for centuries. OK BUT HOW DOES THIS FACT ADVANCE YOUR THESIS?…
Part A: Boyer’s (1998) article argues that the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx is only relevant within the historical context of the 1840s, and not in any other decade of the 19th century. Boyer (1998) then agues that the primary thesis of this argument is that Marx wrote this document during the “hungry” 1840s, which defines a unique period of economic collapse as a timeframe in which communism was an increasingly common idea in the development of European political ideologies (151). More so, the thesis of Boyer’s (1998) article seeks to defame the Communist Manifesto by showing its relationship to the severe economic events of the 1840s, as well as defining how this type of economic collapse was the only time in European history in which…
