- 25941: Interview with Karl Marx
- ... centers of the wealth. Then in this intermediary stage (synthesis) capitalism would be destroyed. Once the workers could control their own fate, exploitation would end and the state would become a classless society. Now doesn’t that sound ideal? On that note, what is an accurate description of what your ultimate dream is? My dream was that the poor, oppressed workers would rise and destroy their capitalist masters. My dream was ... inspirational that dream is, Karl! I am only one of the many that have gained motivation from your words. As picturesque as that seems though, were your arguments scientific? Was there anything that you didn’t predict? I believed that my ideas were scientific and the situation that I described earlier was inevitable. However, in all honestly, my ideas were no more scientific than any other social theory and thus led to some problems that I didn’t predict. I overlooked the overhead costs that the owners of the productions had to pay to stay in business. Instead of pushing the working class over the capitalists, capitalism raised their living standards enough ...
- 25942: Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck-Schönhausen
- ... or aristocrat, was a Prussian nationalist and later a German nationalist. As Chief Minister to Wilhelm I of Prussia, he devised and executed a "klein-deutsch" (excluding Austria) plan to unify Germany. It was Bismarck's goal to unite the German states in a strong, single German empire with Prussia at its center. To do this, Bismarck would need to support of a powerful Prussian army. Upon request from Bismarck and King Wilhelm I, money was denied from the Prussian legislature for military expenditures. Though, at first, Bismarck's policies were not well received by Parliament, public opinion began to favor his side in 1864. Bismarck knew that war would be necessary to achieve German unification and so he began to plan accordingly. In ... because his primary goal was to avoid making Austria an enemy. He wanted Austria to remain neutral in any future war with France. As a result of these wars, Bismarck won the support of Prussia's Parliament. In 1866 it passed legislation approving his military expenditures over the previous four years. Bismarck tried repeatedly to allure the southern German states into a confederation with the north, but these attempts failed ...
- 25943: Welfare: Not A Way of Life
- ... living off government checks because the incentives to go to work were so weak (Froomkin, Dan). The welfare program was founded during the Great Depression. The federal government provided fairly uniform benefits to the nation’s poor—mostly women and children—without regard to the details of their personal circumstances and with no time limit. Now, a federal system that was once fairly consistent has been turned over to the states ... cut off from assistance. Those responsibilities are falling to welfare caseworkers, who in the past did little more than hand over checks. The old system was often criticized for granting benefits to people who didn’t deserve them and should be working. The new system creates the distinct possibility that people who do deserve assistance will be denied. Since most public assistance goes to families, many of the victims would inevitably ...
- 25944: Can We Say "NO" To Recycling
- Can We Say "NO" To Recycling Lately the earth's capacity to tolerate exploitation and absorb solid wastes disposal has diminished, due to excess trashing. People dispose lots of stuff, and simply do not care. Therefore scientists found out a way to reuse things and that process was called "recycling". This new approach seemed quite successful at the beginning, until its true identity appeared. Recycling first started as man's best friend, people were intrigued by this new phenomena. What could be better than using things that were already used. Recycling has been very useful especially that man is constantly consuming, burning up, wearing out ... to ware out so fast, it is due to the interaction of these materials. So what has to be done now is buy new machines for these firms ever time they ware out, well that's cheap. Another disadvantage of recycling which makes it unattractive is that for manufacturers economically the recycled material is not highly demanded, it is not that pure as the virgin material. In a grocery store ...
- 25945: Brown vs. Board of Education
- Brown vs. Board of Education Brown and the NAACP filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on October 1, 1951. The Supreme Court heard the case first on December 9, 1952. They couldn’t reach a decision. They heard the case again approximately 1 year later. The court decided that they would decided not based on whether the framers intended the 14th amendment to involve desegregation, but weather or ... and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.” The Supreme Court’s decision that separate but equal is not equal began the desegregation of public schools. The decision resulted in forced busing of students. Some students now have to travel extremely far so that schools meet their ...
- 25946: Civil Liberties
- ... the same schooling as another child. I believe that based on this premise, once the government has committed itself to provide basic services to its indigent residents, it can not then limit a poor person’s ability to pursue basic rights without a reasonable cause. After establishing that the equal protection clause prohibits discrimination against the poor, one needs to decide whether the clause includes the right to appeal a lower court’s decisions. The State could argue that the Constitution only provides for one fair trial with an impartial jury, and if one wishes to pursue future judicial review, he can do so based on a number ... transcript of his previous case since whoever wrote this bill believed that in order for an appellate court to determine if any procedural errors took place during the trial, it must see all the court’s proceedings. I believe that this law is reasonable in its nature and fulfills its objective by providing the tools that all courts should use in reconsidering a judicial decision. However, forcing the plaintiff to ...
- 25947: A Few Media Commandments
- ... to inform the public. Magazines, newspapers and billboard owners should be held accountable for promoting these types of products and are just as guilty as the cigarette manufactures themselves. THOU SHALL NOT PROBE INTO PEOPLE’S PRIVATE LIVES Another region where the media needs to be much less involved is in that of people’s private lives. Take for instance the Clinton sex scandal. This is clearly a personal matter between him and his wife, not that of the President and the public’s right to know his every action. A further issue involving lack of privacy is that of the Princess Diana car crash that took her life. It was the ruthless pursuit of this individual that ...
- 25948: Symbolism In Ethan Frome
- ... classic novel written by Edith Wharton contains a great amount of symbolism. The symbolism allows the characters to express themselves more clearly to the reader. It brings incidents and personalities together in meaning. The story s symbolic events is what pulls characters together in time of need. Starkfield Massachusetts is a boring cold farm town. People become very ill there from the terribly harsh winters. Winter greatly affects the actions and ... dish is the most symbolic event in the story. The red dish was a wedding present given to Zeena by one of her relatives. When the red dish broke, it symbolized the breaking of Ethan s heart when he found out that Zeena wanted Mattie to leave. Zeena never used the dish, she kept it in the closet. One day when Zeena went to get her medicine, she discovered that dish was broken, and that someone attempted to glue it back together. The cat had jumped from Zeena s chair to dart a mouse in the wainscot, and as a result of the sudden movement the empty chair had set up a spectral rocking.

- 25949: Comparing "We Wear the Mask" by Dunbar and "Richard Cory"
- ... him, but wanted to be him. He was a role model for some, but unbeknownst to all, he had faults or problems just as them. These problems were not discussed in the poem. It doesn’t say anything about a marital spouse. Maybe being lonely and not being able to find anyone depressed him. Then, one night Richard Cory shot himself. The man who had everything was apparently missing something. He ... in our text book that were similar, such as "Suicide Note" by Janice Mirikitani. Resembling "Richard Cory" the girl seemed perfect with her 4.0, but she hid her grief to herself. When she couldn’t live up to her perfect image, she shot herself. Her true feelings came out only in death, just as Mr. Cory. Each of these poems represent how people hide their honest emotions inside. They only ... behind a mask. The reader must see the similarities in how the characters feel but not what they show. These poems both have a strong tie relating to how people handle their pain. This isn’t just a problem for Richard Cory or the author of "We Wear the Mask." Several people in our society have these problems today. Some deal with this problem the same as Richard Cory, but ...
- 25950: Symbolism In The Great Gatsby
- ... perhaps even ominous. Naturally, many people become curious and want to find out what lurks about in the dark and be able to say that they know what others do not. In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, the main character, Jay Gatsby is quite enigmatic. Seclusion and isolation are well known to Gatsby, especially when it comes to his personal life and his history. Throughout the novel, except ... of a moving cat wavered across the moonlight, and turning my head to watch it, I saw that I was not alone--fifty feet away a figure had emerged from the shadow of my neighbor's mansion with his hands in his pockets . . . (p. 21) Being the absolute mystery that he is, Gatsby is this "silhouette of a moving cat," and lives his life this way. As this quote shows, Gatsby ... curious as to where he came from and who he really was, Gatsby stepped farther into the shadows and attempted to blend in with his surroundings. This went on until he met Nick Carraway, Daisy's cousin, who was able to bring him out of his small world. Then, upon reuniting with Daisy, Gatsby was pulled even farther into the reality of who he really was.
