"Attachment refers to the affection and respect that individuals have for others - most notably parents and teachers" (Agnew, 1995:367). This attachment is important because it prevents the individual ... than his reputation at school or in the community.

- 1214: Communistic Society
- ... Communism is the theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all its members.

To eliminate this problem, means of production should be government owned. Communists, Marx stated, were to lead society into its new era. Marx stated that following a revolution the proletariat would seize control of both the social and economic world. The distinction between classes would be lessened, and class struggle would cease to exist. Government, social structure, and economic development were three important aspects of Communistic society. ...

It is that which gives the General Government control over all the acts of the local legislatures
This power conferred upon the General Government has been compared to the veto power that exists in England in respect to our legislation"16 The main ...
