Comparison of Ideas Between Karl Marx, Bruce Barton, Juliet Schor, Joseph Heller and Nina Munk
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the connection of ideas between Karl Marx, Bruce Barton, Juliet Schor, Joseph Heller and Nina Munk. Since the early writings of Karl Marx in the 1800s and his ideas that capitalism was bringing about the oppression of the working masses, several of the same elements have surfaced throughout the texts of the 1900s. Bruce Barton was a capitalist and one of the most successful businessmen in the early 1920s. In his work “The Man Nobody Knows: A Discovery of the Real Jesus” however, he explains how many of the ideas of capitalism have occurred throughout history especially in the methods of Jesus the “Founder of Modern Business” where he likens Jesus to the ultimate “ad man”. More recently however, Juliet Schor writes in her book “The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline of Leisure” that the obsession with capitalism and the need to constantly strive for more money has led society to overwork itself and corporate leaders to further exploit their workers. Joseph Heller in his work “Something Happened” ” further tells through humor, the tragedy which is involved in modern day corporate America. In one section, the main character describes “The office in which I work” where he figures out how many of his co-workers are afraid of one another and who are all in turn afraid of the owners of the corporation which despite the numerous classes which seem to exist in modern society still reflects the idea of Marx’s two class society of the bourgeois and the proletariat. Lastly, Nina Munk suggests that workers are beginning to liberate themselves by declaring themselves “free agent employees” and she alters Marx’s plea from the Communist Manifesto “Working men of all countries, unite!” with the modern version of “Workers of the world, stay home!”

Comparison of the Radical Revolutionary and Liberal Democratic Schools of Political Thought in Regards to The Human Condition, Government and Society, The Rights of Man and Freedom
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the ideals of the radical revolutionary and the liberal democratic schools of thought. The ideals of the radical revolutionary schools of thought as seen in the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels contrast in the basic elements of individuals and society from the school of liberal democratic thought advocated by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and America’s founding fathers. Within the radical revolutionary school of thought governments were given certain rights over individuals in return for the protection of their citizens and the allocation of justice and the products of labor. Liberal democratic thought on the other hand believed that men were born were certain natural rights which could not be taken away unless voluntarily. In addition, if governments did not promote the general will of the people, they could be withdrawn. The basic rights of life, liberty and happiness in addition to Locke’s private property were the most consistent features found in the liberal democratic school and which were promoted in America and France shortly after they were proposed. The theories of Marx and Engels however originated the ideals of socialism in its truest form.

Comparison: Marx and Ozment
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper comparing the focus, tone and themes of Marx and Engel's Manifesto of the Communist Party and Ozment's The Burgermeister's Daughter. Marx is said to have lamented the failure of the "experiment" of communism shortly before his death, but the Manifesto of the Communist Party carries no hint of any uncertainty. Marx and Engels denounce the system that exists and present what they are determined will replace it. In contrast, The Burgermeister's Daughter chronicles one woman's efforts to effect social change on a much smaller scale and in single steps rather than in sweeping measures.

Concentrated Economic Power Makes It Difficult For Ordinary Citizens To Exert Control Over Their Lives
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. With a very small portion of the population controlling the majority of the concentrated economic power, it is no wonder that ordinary citizens find it exceedingly difficult to exert control over their lives. Money does, indeed, make the world go around; without its influential benefit, a preponderance of the population continues to find themselves pawns to those who flaunt its power. The writer discusses how, in a world that thrives upon conspicuous consumption, it is becoming more and more difficult for the masses to keep up. No additional sources cited.
