The Ruling Class

first of all, what is “the ruling class”? The agglutination of segments that contains “rule” and “priest” may give the answer. The “ruling class” is the class dominant as signaled by Nietzsche in this. “Jewish instinct” is here transformed to “xxx instinct”, that is the rol of beliefs that makes the conduct automatized following the xxx religion, and in the case xxx = “jewish,” but may be “christian,” “buddhist” and so on. Thus, Christianity remains similar to Judaism. In conclusion, Nietzsche believes that someone took possession of the event “Christ” to manipulate its consequences, to obtain Christian instinct to be similar to Jewish instinct and that this act means the negation of the Church. This Nietzsche opinion is in context with accusations in literature that Heretical sects took possession of Christianity, in its early times, to construct a belief system for humanity reformation founded on early Christians lifestyle and teachings.…

There is a divide amongst the American people and this divide is financial. The top one percent of the financial division is known as the wealthy, the elite, the ruling class, the powerful and are held at the top of society’s chain. These elites are educated and are tasked with great responsibilities like identifying social needs. Some of these social needs may include, increasing people livability, focusing on society growth, employment, education, and welfare of the American people. One would…

Mistero Buffo was first performed October 2, 1969 outside Milan by Dario Fo (Behan 99). Oftentimes, his performances of Mistero Buffo were with his wife, Franca Rame, who stated that Fo began collecting these pieces seven years earlier. However, his revisions of Biblical texts date back to 1953 (Behan 95). Inspired by Marxist theories, he strove “to make audiences become aware that their position in society is a consequence of the privileges and oppression perpetrated at their expense by another…

Social injustice arises when equality treated unequally. Each time when someone cheats of what one deserve, there is injustice. Galsworthy has dealt with the theme of social injustice by portraying society as a sharply divided entity consisting of totally opposed classes. His The Skin Game deals with the theme of social injustice. A class struggle is in progress. But it is not between the rich and poor. The struggle is not based on economic inequality but on social inequality. The Skin Game…

responsibility in the household but even if they make poor decisions, the women are still not allowed to assist in financial/household decisions. This statement is telling husbands and sons that they need to be responsible enough to care for their wives/mothers but then calls women “helpless”, giving them no authority in the happening of their own household. This document tells me that men are completely superior to women in this culture and time. Women were regarded as property, not an…

group of people most likely to be subjected to exile. Often, this group tends to be the socially observed “other.” What an other is can change drastically depending on who is defining it, and to whom they’re assigning the term. As we’ve seen in both Book of Salt by Monique Truong, and Exile According to Julia by Gisele Pineau, the characters Bihn and Man Ya represent comparable, but fundamentally different ideas of the other in French society. They are used, in many situations, as…

subordinates following from beneath. This is describing a system of caste or even slavery as it abruptly points to at the end of the sentence. Under such a system, Nietzsche is arguing, what I believe to be a means to provide societal efficiency. Again, this is only possible as seen in what Nietzsche refers to as, “…the pathos of distance…” which describes the distance or difference of individuals, per the class they are a part of. Efficiency and enhancement would formulate by the ruling class…

Extraordinarily Ordinary Magical Realism uses the extraordinary to show a person a different view on the world they live in. It allows one to be taken away from a very boring and mundane way of life, and afterwards one sees things previously taken for granted. Magical Realism was created by two South American authors, Marquez and Borges. Marquez is also the author of A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, so it makes sense that he wrote about a literary classification he helped create. A Very Old…

Zinn investigates the creation of the rebellion using historical causation to obtain a better understanding of the realistic circumstances behind the founding of the United States. Following the aftermath of the Seven Years’ War, colonial leaders gained influence over England, due to increased reliance on the revenue generated from the colonies in order to pay off the debts of the war. The increased influence of the colonial leaders led to increased political experimentation and the harnessing…

The Romantic period of poetry wasn’t just about the romantic imaginings of the natural life; it was rife with social and political issues. The Romantic Era was a particularly turbulent time for these problems and the writers of this time reflected day-to-day struggles with poverty, the crushing power of the ruling classes and the previous fall of the French nobles at the hands of those beneath them in various ways. Shelley’s “Ozymandias” was one such politically driven poem. The idea that a…
