The purpose of this essay is to describe the American Economic System. This system is based on two concepts, Capitalism and Socialism. These two concepts are the glue to the economy but also the dividers. These dividers cause a mixed economic system which help the country keep running. Capitalism and Socialism have their differences but both have the same goal to help America function better. The first difference is capitalism which is more based on the individual person, that person is the…

Section A. #1: Marx refers to human nature as "Gattungswesen", or "species-being", which means that humans are capable of making or shaping their own nature, at least to some extent. Essentially, because marx doesn't refer to "human nature" as such, he uses the term "species-being". This is mainly due to Marx's theory that the fundamental "nature" of human-beings is there drive to create and express themselves in and through nature. This is why alienation is a major theme and problem in Marx's…

Although he was a German citizen, he lived many places including Germany, France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. During his lifetime he wrote many books, including The Communist Manifesto, German Ideology, and Capital. He spent many years pondering over the aspects of life and government.

While there are many problems with communism being practiced in different nations around the world, the real problems lie within the theory of communism. Ideally everyone would be treated equal and there would be no class struggle or discrimination, but this is impossible due to free will and the need for one to express themselves. There is a problem with alienation in our nation right now, but this problem shouldn’t be solved by such an extreme. Working towards decreasing wealth gaps should be…

him or her unique. Someone who generally feels that they need something in their life to make them stand out from others in society takes this approach. The second approach to alienation is acceptance, but P not desiring to be different. P then uses one of four possible strategies to cope with this, the first being that this is a “special case” and that if it were not for this specific person, then he or she would be a heterosexual (Cass, 1979). The second strategy is that P identifies as…

Communism is an interesting ideology that seems great theoretically but is very difficult to apply in the real world. From the Soviet Union to China, communism has always been a part of human history. Rather than looking at either of these, this essay will look at communism that unravelled in a small island by the name of Cuba and will try to determine if Cuban communism is an ideology. Before this can be delved into, ideology must be first understood and must set the conditions in which an idea…

In today’s capitalist society, those who own the means of production must devise ways to rationalize paying their workers at relatively low wages while still trying to earn a profit for their businesses. In this scenario, I will explain how “Moneybags”, the owner of the means of production, rationalizes paying his workers at a factory that assembles cell phone parts, through a Marxist perspective. According to Marx, every day, the worker’s means of subsistence “must therefore be sufficient to…

At its heart, Stayin’ Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class by historian Jefferson Cowie is about the political change of the white working-class from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Chronicling why working-class laborers, such as Dewey Burton, who the author describes as a …,” radically changed political parties from New Deal Democrats to Reagan Republicans, Cowie primarily argues that examining the political voter base of the working-class in the 1970s demonstrates how the…

“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people” - Karl Marx. Systematic oppression can be used to control the ways of society and get into the minds of civilians to “convert” to new methods of life. In the novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale”, by Margaret Atwood, civilians of lower class and women are targeted in the society, known as Gilead, to enforce laws put together by the upper class civilians.…
