Relations of production

education and occupation as they relate to class. I discovered ownership, as it relates to capital, and educational attainment as the two key factors in understanding a declining voter turnout trend in Alberta, and nationally in Canada. Occupation in relation to voter turnout is difficult to determine, although is closely related to education. Following the discussion of these intersections, I was able to closely analyze these relationships, and distinguish why understanding class is imperative…

The state system has been imbedded in international relations and international politics since the creation of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 AD. The Westphalian ‘state system’ saw the end to the destructive thirty-year war in the seventeenth-century, creating a peaceful resolution to end the conflict and establishing territorial sovereignty. The fundamental roles states have been assigned include create justice and order, welfare, freedom, unity and most importantly protection of the people…

I always say that the public relations program at Mount Saint Vincent University found me, rather than the other way around. I have always had a passion for writing, public speaking and media, but as of my senior year of high school my exposure to public relations was limited to Samantha Jones from Sex and the City. As a 17-year-old that was torn between journalism and advertising, I followed a neighbour’s advice to research the field of PR. I quickly found that the profession is about so much…

classes exclusively for the purpose of protecting self-interest. The labor of the lower classes not only supported their subsistence, but upheld the luxurious existence of the bourgeoisie as well. While the bourgeoisie retained control of the means of production, they entered an agreement with the proletariat to form “the rights of man,” which preserve the rights to life, liberty, and security with the limitation that one man’s rights should not undermine the rights of another. In his effort to…

should be ambitious and hold the future in high regard. However, Meek, Pacheco & York (2010) argue that enterprising behaviour can be developed through adequate training and education since it is concerned with observing the environment and social relations and the combination of various…

In early1848, German intellectuals by the name of Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels planned for a proletarian revolution against the prevailing socio-economic gain in Europe, which they both viewed it as corrupt and in disarray. The Communist Manifesto was written by both Marx and Engels; however Marx is the primary author. Karl Marx obtained his education in law and philosophy. After receiving his degree, he realized he no longer could continue with German education and turned his focus to…

in the beginning of the Manifesto of the Communist Party, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles” (473). This quote is meant to illustrate the historical and hostile dichotomy of bourgeois and proletarian relations, of working class and ruling…

within society, it can be said that public relations and advertising directly affect socialization and one’s depiction of society. This concept goes deeper than the intended purpose of public relations and advertising. These agencies intended purpose is to attract audiences towards the consumption of their products. However, through this pursuit of customers, producers shape these ideas mentioned above. This is due to the fact that advertisers and public relations agencies want to portray their…

respected and admired public figures today. Oprah Winfrey is one of the most influential women in America, she changed shows on “Taboo Topics” like abuse, infidelity etc. Also she helped get a bill passed for children, and openly talked about race relation and influence change in a neighborhood. Oprah began her talk show career in 1976, she moved to Baltimore to join WJZ-TV news as a co-anchor, and in 1978 discovered her talent for hosting talk shows when she became co-host of WJZ-TV's "People…

the fixed cost structure8. I think that if this was a recurring order, I strongly suggest using the fixed cost structure since the fixed cost are taken care of already regardless of the special order and will only rise if it is out of the relevant production range. This can be seen by the higher contribution margin using the fixed cost structure. I would suggest avoiding the special order under most circumstances if there is no excess capacity because the company would lose $40.59 per burger…
