My revision is to elaborate on the economic system portion of my review and to add additional information. In this week's assignment, I selected to address the Ledbetter vs. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company case, where Lilly Ledbetter filed discrimination for gender pay. Capitalism and socialism both serve as a crucial part of the economic system for this setting. Some of the characteristics of capitalism are better working conditions, better wages, the profit motive, competition, and greed.…
Both Karl Marx and Adam Smith are considerably two of the most influential people in the modern age. While the theory of Marxism might be superior on paper, in reality it is impossible; unlike Smith’s theory of capitalism is more suited for the real world. Although, both had wanted to create the perfect society where everyone is happy. Adam Smith, who was born in Scotland in 1723, had the idea of achieving a perfect society through a capitalistic approach. Karl Marx, who was born in 1818 and the…

She grew up with her grandmother and after High School where she went on many TV news in several cities, she moved to chicago. In 1986, Winfrey went on Phil Donahue’s talk show where things started to start. She "just blew the whole thing open. The only thing she was interested in was what made you feel, what made you cry, what you were scared of, what you were proud of. She was interviewing people as if she…
Socialism is a political ideology that rivals liberalism. Socialism started because of unfair and horrible conditions in the workplace during the 19th century. Socialism can be beneficial to many people who look for equality rather than the opportunity to better themselves. Socialism can be beneficial in many ways but it also has its share of flaws. An example of one of the flaws is lack of motivation to work harder. Because everyone except the government gets the same pay as the man beside…

We've all been out in public and seen an unruly child out with their parents. The child is running all over the place, breaking things, being rude to other people around, and just generally causing a scene. Do we blame the toddler for their actions, disruptive as they may be; or is it the parents that we look to? I believe that it is the responsibility of the parent to look out for and maintain their child. A toddler is going to do what toddlers do, plain and simple, in the scenario I just…
prices and low pay to the less fortunate. This would eventually bring upon social division between the rich and the poor which is unequal. With improvements in technology, manpower is fading quite a bit. Therefore, leading to an unbalanced economy with mass unemployment and inflation. Another evil about capitalism is that it can destroy the purpose of opportunity when inherited wealth is involved. A quote reads, “Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed our duty?

A factory is built out of necessity. There is a certain demand for a good or service that influences a wealthy bourgeois man to invest in the means of production of those goods. A factory creates a demand for labor, and the proletariat were eager to fill that demand after they'd been stripped of their previous occupations and traditions. The proletariat lived in overcrowded, filthy, and often dangerous and unhealthy conditions as Engels witnessed. On top of that, the factory owners and their…
clothes as everyone else would be boring and having little food due to rationing would not be fun.

The Soviet Union, China, Russia, Ukraine are some of the old communist countries throughout…
