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.…

I was first intrigued by Flanagan’s The Narrow Road to the Deep North, due to the focus of the story being on the Thai-Burma Railway (or the Death Railway as it was also called) during World War II (WWII). This setting interested me as I have always had a curiosity about history and the study of history. Similarly I was also interested in the Thai-Burma Railway as last year I had done a project on it in my history class. However as I started reading the novel, the setting became less important…

Marx’s criticism influenced our interactions with commodities in terms of how we determine the value between products in our capitalist economy.

Albert Einstein, considered one of the sharpest minds in history, died unfulfilled. All of his life since he was a kid, he had been in awe from the natural phenomena of the world. Taken over by passion, Einstein put his whole focus on science. Even as a brilliant child, teachers thought he would never amount to anything, because of his lack of interest in anything other than sciences and math. Einstein and I share the same hyperfocus towards our passions that blindly leads us away from other…

Max Weber descried bureaucracies as, “a type of formal organization constituted to accomplish a specific goal, task, or production outcome in the most efficient manner (Weber, 1947). With that saying, each bureaucracy can be identified by five characteristics: a hierarchical authority structure, specialization (division of labor), written rules, written communications/records, and impersonality/replaceability. Some examples of bureaucracies are, large companies and businesses, organizations, as…
