wealth/capital, which they then reinvest. Thus, Weber agrees with Marx’s analysis of the basic reproductive features of the capitalist system, and the economic determinism in modern capitalism. Moreover, Marx believed that similarly to other modes of production, capitalism was the result of material and economic conditions, and that economic life was vital for social development. Weber agreed on the importance of economic life, however, Weber believed that culture and ideas had a crucial role in…
extremely limited. Another reason you wouldn’t have it is because of its cost, the worker must work many hours to build these complex machines and at an extremely small production rate the market prices would be immense, making it extremely difficult for the common man to buy. However, thanks to the invention of the assembly line production time has been cut down to a fraction of what it would take to do by hand, and assembly lines have increased the…

To understand this true nature, we must think back to a time before our own, where ‘civilized’ society is millennia to the future.

Before the industrialization, people would work fifty or more hours per week and not have the weekends off. Pre-industrialization, workers that worked in factories would be exposed to rodent infestations. Working in unsanitary conditions would cause illnesses or death. People did not choose to work in awful conditions, they needed to because they needed…
My production group chose to do the documentary that I pitched about the increase in hate crimes and hate groups, specifically anti-Muslim violence, that has occurred over the last few years, particularly in relation to the presidential election. I chose to frame the incident around the specific incident in which a Muslim student was threatened to be lit on fire if she did not remove her hijab because it was the most shocking local incident that has occurred and I thought it would be a…

Third, can there exist ' people's capitalism, class peace, or class harmony between two groups of people whose interests are diametrically opposed? In other words, can Jadine and Son coexist in harmony? The ending…
