In this reading response, I will be focusing on the article “The Criminalization of Everyday Life” by Sally Engle Merry and “Division of Labor” by Emile Durkheim. Merry and Durkheim have opposing ideas on the topic of crime and criminalization. While Merry believed that it functions to restrict and dominate a group of people, Durkheim believed that it is a necessary tool for societies to operate. Merry stated that laws target aspects of everyday life to insure control of the dominant group…

However, based on actions of capitalists…

He himself throughout the book explores new ideas and invents and discovers new things, by himself as an individual going against the collective society. Throughout the book, this…

Although Marx is ruthless in denouncing his home country throughout “A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right,” it does not necessarily follow that…
