Communism and Capitalism are basically polar opposites. With communism, the focus is on the masses, building a society on equality with shared economic benefits for all, while capitalism takes the “every man for himself” approach. Capitalism is often seen as the way of the “west”, one of the building blocks for Western society. Is discrediting the continued success of its practice an attack on the West? Communism is most famously explained in the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. In this…

Not only can universities dictate where a scholarship athlete can enroll, but the athlete also must sit out a year (Sanderson & Siegfried, 2015, p. 127). Next, Sanderson and Siegfried discuss the distributional aspects of change. One set of redistributions might be among athletes (Sanderson & Siegfried, 2015, p. 129).

Richard Brown, in his article “Modernization and the Modern Personality in Early America, 1600-1865,” views modernization as dual themed; linking elements of economic with social and political change. He describes economic modernity as an increase in rationalized production with an emphasis on the specialization of economic functions; while social modernization equates to the evolution of small societies towards large ones, combined with the establishment of an integrated and efficient…

sought after by the early rebellious groups and would proceed to give urban workers an eight-hour workday, minimum wage and the constitutional right to go on strike when conditions are felt to be unpleasant.

Our government of elected officials and the constituency are both heading down a dangerous path with our current political situation. It is hard for our politicians and government to make the American people happy in the current political situation when there are no solutions that are being given options to the public. And the current political situation in words is…

Since the start of civilization, humans have used violence to gain and ensure power. Power often blinds people causing them to believe their violent actions are just. They are in a position where they won’t be opposed so they can act self-interestedly. Thrasymachus, in Thucydides’ accounts on the Peloponnesian war explains this point of view best by stating, “Justice is nothing other the advantage of the stronger.” (Plato pg. 14).

This outcome has in turn led to the surge in the inequality gap. In…

In the modern world, where technology and people thrive and there are minimal amounts…
