Social Processes Mass Media
1,111 wordsSUMMARY REPORT Although we use the term "the state" freely in everyday discussion and assume that others know what we are talking about, a little consideration will show that such an explicit entity is, in fact, rather difficult to identify. Although many state institutions are easy to distinguish, it is difficult to generalize in visible terms what the state actually is. Miliband started by raising the essential question of why it was that the state, even if it had a democratic body of laws and...

Marxism And The Labor Theory Of Value

The second difficulty pertains to the hypocrisy of Roemer's view on consistency: it is one thing to level a charge of inconsistency against Marx's value theory, and quite another thing to claim that it is not useful to criticize the inconsistency of neoclassical utility and production functions - particularly when those inconsistencies are part and parcel of Roemer's own approach. The whole question of consistency is, in fact, far more complex than Roemer's focus on formal log...

Why Foucault Described Modern Society As Disciplinary
1,618 wordsIt was in his book Discipline and Punishment that Foucault outlines his theory that modern society was a disciplinary society. Here he described the disappearance of punishment as a public and violent spectacle which emphasized the infliction of pain to the body, to the emergence of surveillance of the soul which grew up around the development of the modern prison system. During the years 1760 to 1840, public executions gradually disappeared, and punishment instead became hidden, and concealed. ...

Division Of Labor Karl Marx
1,637 wordsMarx Karl Marx represents one of the most controversial philosophical approaches in his researches and works. In his early writing on Alienated Labor, there is a clear and prevailing focus on the predicament of the laborer. In my eyes it is an attempt to draw a stark distinction between property owners and workers. The purpose of this paper is to view Marx's concept of alienation and how it affects a particular individual. To do so we will look at what Marx means by alienation, the different sor...

Free Market Economy Capitalist Societies
3,321 wordsFrom the very dawn of intelligent human interaction to the present day, the concept of capitalism has dominated the way we trade goods and acquire wealth.

Only during the last several hundred years has the idea of a modern democracy been de...

Means Of Production Mode Of Production
2,447 wordsAs stated before, the key classes in the capitalist mode of production are the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, or capitalists and landless wage laborers. While Marx recognizes that there are other classes, the fundamental class division is between this pairing of the exploiter and the exploited. The bourgeoisie derive their class position from the fact that they own productive wealth. It is not their high income that makes them capitalists, but the fact that they own the means of production.

Radical Feminism Liberal Feminists
2,592 wordsIt can be said that the state is a category of abstraction that is too aggregative, too unitary and too unspecific to be of much use in addressing the disaggregated, diverse and specific (or local) sites that must be of most pressing concern to feminists. (Allen 1990) The difficulty of any theory of the state is an obvious one. The state is a generalization that is constantly shifting and redefining itself and the power paradigms that exist within it. Therefore, it is difficult to agree on an id...
