American Holocaust. Maybe because media and our education system does not really pay attention to minorities such as the Native Americans. It’s really sad reading the article. I did not know that 90% of Native Americans died during the white imperialism. Karl Marx’s Conflict theory stated that “groups that make up society are competing with one another for scarce resources.” Marx said that the society is controlled by rich, powerful businessperson (bourgeoisie).

One idea that would be considered very prevalent in Henry David Thoreau’s Walden is the awareness of how society creates a religion of materialism and unnecessary proprietary ownership. This is shown in the sense that man will work vigorously to achieve a goal that has no essential value but rather a superficial one. A man will work himself to exhaustion for something as frivolous and unnecessary as a new hat or firearm, knowing well enough that he already has one in perfectly good condition.…

Marx and Christ both talk about a perfect society where economic troubles were non-existent and everyone was equal. They both knew that humanity needed a society where everyone was equal and no one could claim dominance over the other. If everyone in society was equal, there would be no conflict between one another. Both sides also agreed that there was an evil power that needed to be destroyed. Once this evil power was destroyed, people could live in peace. Although this is the moral thought…

Founded in Belgium in 1889 and then published in Paris two years later, La Revue blanche disseminated work by avant-garde writers, critics, and artists such as Marcel Proust and Guillaume Apollinaire. The magazine also served as a means for the intelligentsia to discuss social and political issues of the day, most notably the Dreyfus Affair. Its financers were the Natanson brothers – Alexandre, Alfred, and Thadée – who befriended and patronized the Nabis. Bonnard, in particular, became close to…

In Karl Marx’s native home of Germany, he observed many inequalities around him including widespread suffering and misery in the working class. He states that religion was widely used as an anesthetic to help people cope with their suffering. According to Marx, religion is a reflection of man, because religion is one of man’s constructions. So man uses religion as an illusion to shield himself from his own own sufferings. Marx claims that that the happiness gained from religion is an illusion,…

Marx’s criticism influenced our interactions with commodities in terms of how we determine the value between products in our capitalist economy. Marx’s theory on Fetishism of commodities explains that products of human labor have a distinct value to them which affects social relations in our society. According to Marx, the Bourgeoisie control production therefore the products that they create from human labor have a distinct value based on how much labor is used so a good does not have value…

Commonly known, the phrase “selfish capitalist pigs” seems to be the mantra of socialist proponents. Socialists believe that capitalism has historically led to disasters such as the Great Depression due to robber barons selfishly “stealing” the money from the people. Albeit, there are some cases where the 1% have hoarded money, but overall the capitalists have tried to stabilize the economy exemplified by J.P. Morgan putting some of his money into the stock market to keep it going (“The Stock…

What do we see? A car in a sound booth completely white. The product launch being featured is the one and only Lexus LFA. A luxury car with two seats of Japanese origin that is priced at $314,000 US dollars, with the essence of perfectionism slobbered all over. After all, that is the company's slogan “The Pursuit of Perfection”. Lexus has been manufacturing cars for decades and shooting commercials for years. They have extensive knowledge on buyer’s psychology, which is demonstrated in their…

The communist manifesto was a revolutionary one-sided propaganda tool that disseminated the information seeking to influence the opinion of the public. Published by Friedrich Engels Pages and Karl Max, the manifesto is romantic, persuasive, and offer insightful explanations of a progressive society.
