In running a productive and efficient team at work, there is a need to create an effective workplace and enhance positive social relations among the employees.

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

Abstract

The basic principle of Marxist criticism is that society is divided in social classes that are in an antagonist relation, wherein the rich and strong exploit the poor and weak. In this sense, Walt Whitman’s poem “A Noiseless Patient Spider” does not reflect the exploitative relation that Marx sees as representative for society, but he rather describes the society of one, hence an atypical society. The solitude, isolation and desolation are feelings that appear throughout the story, so the reader can understand that possession, or a high social status is not as important as companionship, or when one ...

The WWI was perpetuated by several reasons especially one regarding the fallout of European imperialism. Moreover, there were increased social class conflicts around the western world especially that revolving around the social class conflicts when Marxism was rising, and the Russian Revolution took place as well, which established the Soviet Union.

Changes in the governmental structures also sparked WWI, when fascist and authoritarian governments grew in number. The effects of WWI caused the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire (Burlingham).

History

Abstract Karl Marx observed the large gap between workers’ and serfs’ quality of life compared to the aristocrats running European countries from France to Russia. He theorized that viewing workers as commodities necessary to produce profits was causing deep angry feelings of alienation in the working class. The pamphlet written by Marx and Engel called The Communist Manifesto (1849). Marx’s work grew from Hegel’s theories about alienation in order to apply to society in the decade of the 1840s (Panich & Leys, 1998). Contemporary authors have determined that the feelings of alienation in 1848 were similar to what ...

I would like to send my letter of inquiry and fundraising proposal to the local municipal council. In my town, there is a prevalence of homeless people. Due to their miserable living conditions, they are more prone to various diseases and involvement in criminal activities. Alcohol abuse among the homeless is also another major issue haunting their growing numbers. The local Municipal Corporation can help solve this problem by making a shelter(s) for the homeless.

Question 1. What is the World System theory and how does it explain the structure of the international system and actions of states? World-systems theory is a macrohistorical paradigm of research of international relations that examines the social evolution of the economies, historical systems and civilizations as a structural relationship within the broad historical and geographic community, the so-called "world-system". World-systems analysis is considered as an alternative to traditional interdisciplinary social sciences, since it criticizes stadial concepts of history, is focused on supranational perspective and rejects the dichotomous opposition between East and West (Halsall, 1997). The key concept of ...

Promising for the future is an endeavor set for at least unqualified disappointments. The factors involved in the dynamics of reality cannot be totally controlled, oftentimes have their own lives or evolutionary stages to follow, to conform to someone’s idea of how things should be. The idea of ‘should be’ is a visionary’s dream and a realist’s joke. The promise of imperialism in Conrad’s time and perspective as J. Hillis Miller understood it can either be a contrived promise from the imperialist power to deceive the dominated people into ...

Assess The View That The Main Function Of The Education System Is To Reproduce And Legitimise Social Inequality

Marxist theories of education rely upon the notion that the education system systematically reproduces the social and cultural values that lead to the privileging of one social class over another. For Marxists, social inequality is the core of capitalism. As Anyon (2011, p. 7) suggests, capitalism is “an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production.” Moreover, capitalism cannot function unless these social inequalities exist. According to Marxism, the education system perpetuates these inequalities by creating a set of standards which do not have a neutral ideological formation. Regardless of geographic location and emphasis on cultural, ...

Question #2 It might be argued that the character of Ned Kelly is a Robin Hood-like character. A 19th century outlaw, Carey illustrates him as the conventional bad guy with positive qualities. This is why it can be said that Kelly is a Robin Hood like character, as Robin Hood executed certain aspects that were not necessarily morally correct, or ethically right - but nevertheless allowed for positive outcomes. Much of the novel consists of Ned encountering bad luck and being manipulated and lied to. As such, he is forced into the seemingly bad guy lifestyle ending up in ...

What constitutes justice may vary depending on social and cultural contexts though all forms of justices built its foundations on moral assumptions that constitute ethics, law, and fairness (Marxism par 1). There is a constant debate by philosophers on the nature of both morality and justice trying to examine the relationship between the two philosophical concepts. We understand that justice cannot be realized without a concept of morality and vice versa, and thus the two concepts are much related about our social values and norms as humans. Social morality is characterized by the consensus conviction, regarding the justified standards ...

Communism The communist government is a political and socioeconomic entity that is founded on the principles of common ownership of production, and the non-existence of social classes. The ideologies behind the communist government are also based on the theories of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels and Vladimir Lenin. These theories have in common the debunking of the relationship between the capitalists and the laborers in a society, and thus the state should own all the means of production such that there ought to be an equitable distribution of the fruits of production among all the members of society. Thus the ...

Political ideologies are collections of different thoughts that seek to communicate with the best form of government in the society (Heywood 12). According to many thinkers, the society is organized in different forms of governance, which determine how the administrative policies are made. In this precept, some ideologies are right and take the will of the people in structuring the way the government discharges its duties. On the other hand, some government philosophies are so harsh to its people and leave them with nothing to hope for nor to dream. This paper elucidates different ideologies as presented by various ...

[client’s name] Both Hitler and Roosevelt emerged as leaders in their respective countries during their hard time. United States and Germany, which was dependent on American bank loans, were most severely struck by the Great Depression. Despite the existence of some objective economic reasons for the financial failure, new leaders of two great industrial powers mostly exaggerated other, subjective causes of the crisis. Even though Roosevelt and Hitler were politicians of different parts of political spectrum, their first speeches were similar as both addressed the crisis and the ways to resolve the critical situation. Nevertheless, every assumption of ...

Theories of liberalism, realism and Marxism evolved at the different historical periods and have a large number of conceptual differences. First and foremost, each theory has a different goal. Marxism is mainly concerned with the class equity. Realism targets the state security. On the contrary, liberalism is more positive and targets beneficial bilateral or multilateral cooperation and consequent increase of the wealth. Marxism emerged in the XIX century. In general, this theory was focused on the interests of the workers as the largest class of the society. For Marxists, the state is a non-neutral structure that represents the interests ...

She had grown up since the Revolution and was too young to remember the ideological battles of the fifties and sixties.

When one reads a tale, he or she hardly takes it seriously. No surprise! First of all, everyone expects a fairy tale to entertain describing an unreal world with where happens an unreal story. Secondly, nobody seeks for a deep sense in a fair tale, especially if it is a pure nonsense like in case with “Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Caroll. However, there’s definitely a certain sense in this nonsense. It won't be the exaggeration to say that this tale is full of sense, symbols, allusions or metaphors. The world described in “Alice in Wonderland” tale reflects ...

- What are Descartes’ arguments for Cartesian dualism? Do you find them persuasive? If you do not, do you endorse monism, or not? Explain your answer.

In the dualism, Descartes attempts to solve the problem of mind and body. Descartes contrast the mind and the body that the two exist separately.

Business for the Glory of God: The Bible’s Teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business portends a concept of holistic entrepreneurial by emphasizing on the perception of the business as a calling. The implication of this understanding promotes the view that business people must engage in activities that represent the will of God. Grudem demonstrates the extent to which the business activities fall into the widespread Christian paradigm that are pegged on the opportunity to enhance the glory of God. Accordingly, the profit spectrum, private ownership, competition, employment as well as commercial transactions must portray the sovereignty ...

A cyborg manifesto is a brilliant article authored by Donna Haraway. It is solely aimed at criticizing the traditional notions of feminism, especially through putting greater emphasis on the issue of identity rather than affinity. In this article, Haraway uses the image or metaphor of a cyborg to urge feminists to move beyond the retrogressive limitations of traditional feminism, gender and politics. The idea of Haraway’s Cyborg calls for a non-essentialized and material-semiotic metaphor that is considered capable of uniting diffuse political coalitions through the notion of affinity (Haraway, 1991, p.153). She clearly addresses the rift between a feminist discourse ...

Francis Fukuyama wrote a very bold essay in the summer of 1988 where he stated that history had come to a stop, and the west had finally triumphed as the dominant civilization. As the world witnessed the fall of communism and a democratization wave that swept through many countries, especially in Latin America, it seemed to the author that liberal democracy had proven to be the highest form of human society. He declared that history, as a constant struggle between ideologies, had ended. This, of course, did not mean that nothing interesting was going to happen anymore. Fukuyama stated that it only meant ...

Introduction

In order to sufficiently define post-modernity, we need to look at the meaning of modernity since it is the predecessor to post-modernity. Modernism simply refers to a capability of moving forward and making some progress towards a given goal. Most of the theories that led to modernity rested on personal goals whereby each person wanted to maximize his/her interests and minimize the rate of dissatisfaction that they could be exposed to. Modernity can also be used to refer to the post industrial era which had several developments taking place. In order for a person to be fulfilled in modernity, he/she has to ...

Terrorism is not as much about killing a maximum number of civilians as sending a message about its aims and aspirations. ETA, a Basque separatist, nationalist group has stood for the independence of the Basque province since 1959 deriving encouragement from Marxism, nationalism, and other kinds of ideological influence. To achieve its strategy, the multi-compartmental group with a complex and secret structure of limited interconnections has used a set of tactical approaches like killings, intimidation, and humiliation.

Traditional narrative often paints Latin America as a defenseless victim of international lust for power. Latin America has habitually been thought of as a poor region full of merry people being always exploited by countless empires or armies of greedy people willing to sack their seemingly endless resources.

For well over 150 years, the theories of Karl Marx have significantly influenced the thinking and ideas of many sociologists, especially those concerned with the relationship between the economy and politics (Kimmel, 1990). The interaction between the economy and politics in a class society defines social change. In point of fact, change is an inevitable force that is responsible for societal transformation. Contemporary American society is in a continuous flux of change, thanks to such forces and factors as t3echnology, social awareness and the dynamics of a class society. If Marxism and its early predictions were anything to go by, the United ...

Question 1

Consistent with the accepted Marxist record of power, mastery is seen on the model of class abuse; command results from the entrepreneur allotment of the surplus esteem that is prepared by the laborers. As a lot of people second wave feminist pundits of Marx have brought up, on the other hand, Marx's classifications are sex blind. Marx overlooks the routes in which class abuse and sexual orientation subordination are interwoven; on the grounds that he centers singularly on financial processing, Marx disregards ladies' regenerative work in the home and the misuse of this work in businessperson modes of preparation.

“For Marxism, literature does not exist in some timeless, aesthetic realm as an object to be passively contemplated. Rather, like all cultural manifestations, it is a product of the socioeconomic and hence ideological conditions of the time and the place in which it was written, whether or not the author intended it so. Because human beings are themselves products of their socioeconomic and ideological environment, it is assumed that authors cannot help but create works that embody ideology in some form.” -Tyson, Critical Theory Today. War of the Worlds, the novel about the Martian invasion on earth is ...

Structuralism and Semiotics within Film

Abstract Many works of film theory utilise the tools of structuralism and semiotics to imbue a work of art with meaning. Films in this paper will be defined broadly to include matter (celluloid), technique (from camera style, cutting, and editing choices), and final product (the end result which is a movie). Structuralism is the employment conventions, similar to the way language builds meaning in communication, to convey a purpose or meaning. The components of film that can be used in structuralist film theory include, but are certainly not limited to, lighting, cultural references, symbolism, angle and shot duration. Through using these ...

The United States of America continues to face challenges especially given the complicated system of governance. Under federalism, the federal government is entrusted with the overall management of national affairs while the states are left for what may be referred to as the residual functions.

That notwithstanding, one crucial ingredient that America continues to showcase, and which it can be proud of is its respect for ...
