    Young Berry despised manual labor, and he was the only Gordy to bring home poor grades. He was considered “the black sheep of the family—mischievous, terrible in school, and always in trouble.” Berry was cocky and self-confident; he even dropped out of high school to pursue a boxing career, but he gave up boxing by realizing the tough life of a boxer compared to the classier life of a musician. Therefore, he devoted all his energies to songwriting, which was a deep passion, a burning desire to be special, to win, and to be somebody. His first successful attempt was a one-minute commercial jingle for the Gordy Print Shop, which he wrote and recorded in the basement studio of a local disc jockey. Inspired and nurtured by his ambitious and loving family, he grew more and more confident in himself.…

    The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx is an economical and philosophical ideology that is centered on communism. Specifically, it is centered on the redistribution of wealth so that everyone in a specified nation or State is completely equal in wealth for the “betterment” of the society. This in theory eliminates the class system and as a result is intended to eliminate the oppression that comes along with the class separation and wage gap. Thankfully, for me this literary piece’s brilliance does not come simply from Marx’s economic ideals but instead it comes from the simple fact that it exists at all. What challenges me and forces me to strive towards betterment is that the Communist Manifesto serves as a reminder to me that it is…

    Essay On Marx Alienation

    • 725 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Marx believed in objectification when it came to labor, or essentially the outside/visible things we create are the workings of our internal thoughts—in my job, this is seen when I program accounts for our call takers as I make the visible (the account the agent works from) by thinking internally what the way to get the best functionality of the account would be. Marx though had some other theories about labor such as how work is a material thing, i.e. we farm for the food, we dig for the oil, etc. Marx believed that labor transforms us in terms of what we need, our level of self-consciousness, and so on. Marx though thought of work as the human need to work due to their needs—this is relatable as I work because I need to money, I need the money because I have bills and because I am in college. There is though an interesting topic that pretty much every job has that Marx thought of—alienation.…

Kuyper, coming from a Christian belief, believes that sin is the ultimate root of the problem and the way to resolve this issue is a wide spread of Christianity.

    The idea of end of history is fallible construction and let examine historical change of the material world. The one the early driving forces of the end of history, Karl Marx and Friedrich Hegel. Marx argues for the communist utopia as definitive answer to sort out all prior contradiction. Historical development goes through a dialectical process with beginning and middle, and end original belong to Hegel. Marx theory was never realized fully but, it was good opponent of liberal democracy. There some aspect of Marx theory I would agree with such as the state as welfare institution. I don’t be there will every a classless society in the world. In contrast, Hegel’s doctrine suggest that history is product of mankind, “progressed through a series of primitive stages of consciousness on his path to the present, and that these stages corresponded to concrete forms of social organization, such as tribal, slave-owning, theocratic, and finally democratic-egalitarian societies, has become inseparable from the modern understanding of man.” These ideas are very similar but different that Hegel’s believes that history to ends; when rational form of society and state became victorious. To elaborate Hegel’s concept history better much end a more specific date in 1806 at the time of the battle of Jena. State took a transformation Monarch to a revolution which sought to be the vanguard of humanity. The defeat in essence is the measure of the leap of power to hand of the people and realize liberalism as precursor for human civilization to exist. Hence, this stage of human history mandates states to flow a liberal value which is the “universal homogenous state” which allows for all the prior contradiction to be concluded and all desire of mankind are met. Clearly this implies that human are satisfied to and there is no need for conflict of ideas to exist in the larger since because it has been all worked out. In Hegel’s view, ideas are essential different entity…
