Those unfamiliar with Karl Marx, the egalitarian normative theorist insists that the “first phase of communist society the economy will distribute goods according to the norm, to each according to his labor contribution” (Arneson 56). Basically, Marx is stating that a society should satisfy its people by creating a form of equal opportunity, and yet those who cannot contribute or do not have the proper skill in contributing cannot be rewarded, thus making this type of society defective. With regards to this, Marx discarded this norm and claimed that if the communist society is attained by higher phase, then the society can eventually “move beyond the sphere of bourgeois right altogether and operate according to the norm, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” (Arneson 56). Marx’s is presenting how equality can be achieved if one is able to contribute anything according to his or her…
Karl Marx’s class conflict theory states that the bourgeoisie (or the capitalists) are locked in conflict with the proletariat (the exploited workers). Marx believed that this conflict could only end when the working class united and violently broke free of the “bondage”. Once this happens, society will be classless and people will work according to their abilities, while receiving goods and services according to their needs. Although Marxism does propose revolution, it should not be confused with communism.…
All cells carry out the process of cell respiration in order to meet their energy needs. It is advantageous for cells to have the ability to metabolize different substrates. In this experiment, we investigated each sugar’s (glucose, lactose, sucrose, fructose, and lactose/lactaid) cell respiration rate.…
Marx then goes into the first part of the body of his manifesto entitled "Bourgeois and Proletarians." In this part, he goes into how society started communal but then became more unequal as time went on. Systems such as Feudalism, Mercantilism, and Capitalism benefited from the use of exploitation. He first introduces the idea that economic concerns of a nation drive history, and that the struggle between the rich bourgeoisie and the hard working proletariat would eventually lead to Communism. He goes on and on about how the bourgeois have always got what they wanted. Marx reflected more on the negatives committed by the bourgeois than the positives. He states the bourgeoisie "has agglomerated population, centralized means of production, and has concentrated property in a few hands." (Marx, p.8) He then describes the proletarians, or the labor class, and how they were formed, how they have suffered, and how they must overcome their struggles. Marx declares that this “dangerous class,” the social scum, that passively rotting mass thrown off by the lowest layers of old society, may, here and there, be swept into the movement by a proletarian revolution." (Marx, p.15) This began an inevitable revolution where the proletariats take over and dethrone the bourgeoisie.…
Communism is a Karl Marx original, by advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. Although Karl Marx political movement considers history in terms of a class conflict and revolutionary struggle. But in the end communism and socialism prevaled why it couldn't hold, because it had abolished free markets so that officials had no market prices to guide them in planning production. Even tho as history shows communism is the easiest system to sell to people who are poor, not because they are stupid and poor, its because communism for them was reasonable, fair, and workable. Even though the reality of communism are indeed workable,the only problem is the produce supre inefficient economies.…
According to Karl Marx, the struggle between the upper class, the bourgeoisie and the lower class, the proletariat, has always been a constant conflict throughout history. The bourgeoisie controlled all means of production and continuously oppressed the proletariat, which was unfair because the proletariats were the ones doing hard labor, yet the bourgeoisie gained all of the benefits. Marx believed that in order to end this class struggle, class distinctions would need to be eliminated. In order for everybody in society to be considered equal, there could be no private ownership of materials. If private ownership of materials were allowed, then some people would have more things than other people which would create another class and thus another conflict. Therefore, an equalized society would get rid of all conflict. Marxism has been…
In his Communist Manifesto, he spoke of a new social order that would eradicate the inequality of wealth among the people. He theorized that no one would possess anything more than the other. The rich would be forced to yield everything they had in excess to the poor. Poverty and starvation would no longer exist under this new social order. Karl Marx founded the ideal that after a revolutionary struggle, it would be a victory for the working class or the proletariat and a communist society…
There is no such thing having a perfect life because there is always something offline. Marx believed that mankind was moving forward and never behind in their resource, however working class was getting paid unfairly for the work they have done. Industries are taking advantages of their employees and they do not get any benefits out of it. Even when the capitalism is improving, the wages did not improve the prosperity in the community. Marx believed that the society is achievable when everyone is working together.…
1. The purpose of Karl Marx’s piece is to prove the point that communism can fix the class gap that free market and bourgeoisie society has created. He proves his point that giving many examples of how communism would be the answer to stop the exploitation of workers and share the wealth, giving the people equality across the board…
In contrast, Karl Marxl reasoned that workers would be broken by any capitalist, or factory owners, because he believed that a capitalist system provides an advantage for the rich and a disadvantage for the poor. The rich would get richer and the poor would get poorer. Furthermore, the “capitalist” is always in a better position to negotiate a low wage for his workers, he argued. One of his notable and more arguable theories claims that the value of a good or service is directly connected to the amount of labor required for its production. Interestingly, Karl Marx also had his own drastic, political ideas that were far away from those of Adam Smith’s.…
Marx then talks about and refutes some common beliefs about communism such as people won’t want to work, there will no longer be the same culture, the abolishment of country and nationality, the family will be abolished. He denies that any of these things will happen and goes on to say that the things against Communism based on religion, philosophy, or ideology aren’t worth being looked into. The likely steps in the proposed revolution will include the disappearance of private land ownership, the institution of a large income tax, the abolition of inheritance rights, the taking away of emigrants and rebels property, making all people have to work, State centralization of credit, centralization of communication and transport, appropriation of factories, combination of agriculture and manufacturing, elimination of the differences between the town and country, and free education for…
A major argument that Marx put across in his scripts was that capitalism would force society to polarise, causing two classes within society, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. These classes were at both extremes of the social spectrum, the bourgeoisie been the rich "fat cats" who reeped the fruits of capitalism, they were normally the factory or…
In the reading, the communist manifesto, Marx talks about ten main points on how to turn our society into a communist society. The first point that Marx makes I do not agree with. I think that his first point means that the government can come in and take someone’s land that they own. I don’t think that anyone should be able to just randomly decide that they get to take your property away from you. I do not agree with the second point he makes either. People who are not as wealthy as others already struggle to afford things that their family needs. If the taxes heavily increase it will make it that much harder on families who already struggle. Increasing taxes not only affects the people who are considered poor but it also affects everyone else as well. The third point that Marx states I also do not agree with. If you are supposed to receive something from inheritance then you should get it. When someone passes away and leaves particular things to someone their wishes should be honored. I both agree and disagree with the fourth point that he makes. If emigrants or rebels own land and they are doing illegal things on it or with it then I believe that the land should be able to be taken away. If they are using it for good purposes like to build shelter or grow food then I believe they should be able to keep it. Marx’s fifth point I don’t believe that it would be a good idea. With a single person running a big corporation like that could make any decision they want, which can be bad. When there is a group of people who own a corporation they have to take a vote on big decisions. I believe that Marx’s sixth point can be good and bad. The state paying for transportation can be a good thing, but what happens when they run out of money? I don’t think the state could afford to pay for so many people flying on planes, or any form of transportation like that. The seventh point Marx…
During my questionnaire I asked questions that would provide me with good information from the answers. I asked people face to face to increase the validity of responses I received. Validity would be increased as people are less likely to give you a false answer if you are asking them face to face. I asked a range of questions in my questionnaire like which geographical area do you live in and the income they receive. After a certain amount of understanding was obtained from the answered question I could then go on to ask question relating to the product. These questions were based on how they currently see the company. Also it was asking how often they purchase the certain type of product on a weekly basis. I knew then if they purchase a high number of a similar product then the response I would get from my questionnaire for my new product would be a good opinion. This would be because they know what flavours work well, and which don’t so a majority response to either a yes or no answer will indicate whether they feel my new product will be a successful one. In my questionnaire I asked 25 people, the people I asked were a wide range of people as Walkers has a wide target market. I targeted a big range of people as all sorts of people purchase Walkers crisps. The people I asked varied in gender and age. There were some that were aged fourteen and under and there was one who as sixty six years or over. There was a range of people in fulltime jobs and people who were not. Of the people that were in jobs there was a range of occupations that they were in, these included an electrician, a hairdresser and a pub landlord. Some of the people that I asked were not in a fulltime jobs, this was either due to unemployment through redundancy in an old job or there was one person who was a full time mother. I knew the results provided from a full time mother would be reliable as it is more than likely she would do the full…
Time Management for Teachers by Ian Nelson was published in 1995 by Routledge publishers. It is a very handy book for teachers and administrators. It describes in a very precise manner that increased administrative duties, tests, exams, marking, etc. have brought teachers under great pressure. Therefore, in a limited time a teacher is supposed to do a lot of tasks. For this purpose, the teacher must know how to manage his/her time in order to perform his/her duties effectively. Ian Nelson, in this book, guides teachers towards time management and provides practical ideas for successful time management.…
