blog# 15 DE BEAUVOIR

According to the reading the men will benefit from the myth of women. As Beauvoir suggested that the man will benefit when the women distort their personalities for one reason which was pleasing the man. Also the women will be treated as slave due to the fact that women will do anything to make men happy. Men will be just happy base on what the women are doing to please hem. From that Beauvoir called that a benefit for the man, instead I think that is not a benefit and I would say if men and women believed on the myth they both are losing. For many reason I think life is not about who controls or about mistreating humans. Instead people should think it does not matter if you are a men or a women what matter is you as a person. I also believe that there are more important issues that we should deal with. People should pay attention to have better futures other then fighting over the human basic right that every person should be entitle for. More then that I think people are think too much about this problem where it should not be a problem at all we are humans. We all think and have the same ability of thinking. But if people continue to think this way we will not be understand live the way we should. Moreover that will make us less then human just using one another instead should understand each other.

At Shakespeare’s time the women were expected to listen and fallow everything the men say. Basically the women at that time were no expected to be educated or be intelligent or creative as men. People at that time though that men is the only person who are gifted and can be success for some strange reason that I did not understand. But I think at that time men was not smart enough as they though they were at leas if they think about a reason why women are not gifted. However that is not the case but men were ignorant therefore they thought women are not that smart. And that can be conclude basically from the reading because if we looked at the role that women were given is neither fair nor reasonable. Women were expected to do the house work and do what ever their parents want them to do. Also men did not expected women to choose their matches. The family was responsible for that. But the only thing that women were trusted to do beside the house work is nursing. On other words the job that the men will not do or do not want to do at the time was given to the women. Moreover men did not only judge women and say that they were not gifted but the force women to do what ever they think its right and if women refused they were beaten till they give up their choices. So I can say that women are expected to listen to what the men say with out questioning them or even now why they were treated that way.

blog#13 Wollstonecraft

First of all this reading is very interesting because if we think about it; it was written in 1700s. Which means it been a long time since this essay was written (it’s hundreds of year ago). But no only that I was impressed to find a person with all these ideas in that time. From the reading a person can conclude that one of Wollstonecraft’s main points was woman should be free to make their own choices. Therefore if we just take this idea in to consideration I think it will explain every thing to us. Even though most of these ideas seems common sense to most of us today, but it was not the case at that time. Moreover she talked about how women can be a soldier if they choice to do so. “For when they neglect domestic duties, they have it not in their own power to take the field and march and counter-march like soldiers,” (753). Consequently that is the case in today’s where women are successful in their field and that include every field they choose. From that we can all notice that her ideas are valid and they should be enforced in every society. For one important reason which is equality all people should be equally. More then that I think women are loyal and honest while doing their job more then men. So there is no reason for women no to choose their job and do what ever they like just like everyone else.

blog #12 (Reich)

In the world of economy every person position depends completely on the function that person is performing for several reasons. Fist in a market place each company or business is looking for the highest revenue on any possible way. Therefore the more a worker increased the profit of the business he or she will get more money. On other word if the worker produces more he or she will get paid more. But what every the employee is making is only a fraction of the earnings of the company is making. Second the person with the professional skills at the work place is more likely to have a better position. From that we concealed that a person with a degree or more experience will make more money than the other person who do not have that. The third thing that determent a person position in the world of economy is the amount you make. People are classified based on their economic positions. And that will lead to the three classes that Reich described on his writing. We are now in different boats, one sinking rapidly, one sinking slowly, and the third rising steadily (Reich420). And as he fallowed through he said that the boat that are sinking rapidly is the producer’s boat. This bout is carrying the workers of this county and it is sinking because the companies are moving out of the country or there are no more jobs. The second bout who sink slowly is the bout that is carrying the in person servers. This bout is sinking slowly because people are working and making money but those money are not enough to have a fine life. Finally the bout that is rising is the bout that is containing americium’s symbolic analysts. This bout is rising simply because the people who in it are making more then enough and above the income of everyone in the society. And we can call the people in this bout the bourgeois.

Galbraith

Modern poverty is different from that of a century ago for many reasons. First people years ago were less dependent on the money they make from their jobs. I mean they were making enough money to live and save so if they lost their job they could live for a while from the money they have saved. Most of the people use to own their own houses and for the most times those houses were paid off. Also things were more shaper. In other words, they did not have all the bills that people are paying today. For example most of the working people today choice to rent cars and use credit card for the most times. People now are living from a pay check to another. Therefore a lot of people today do not have anything save because they do not make enough money to life and save. . Most of the people are having a hard time getting by anyway. On the other hand people use to have a great job and save a lot of money plus people us to work in big factories but now it different. In addition people today do not spend money for the same reason above which was they do not make enough money. Consequently that will case an insular poverty that will affect every one in the society and that will include all the small and huge businesses. From that a person can conclude that today’s poverty is much worse from the ones at a century ago.

Marx

There are many differences between the bourgeois and the proletarian as Karl Marx describe them in the communist manifesto. Fist if we look at the definition used in the book in the foot note of page 357. Basically Marx defined or meant by the bourgeois as the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. In other words the rich people who control the wealth of the nations. The bourgeois has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation (Marx 357). Marx believed that the bourgeois use the poor people to do the hard work and get less benefit. From that Marx meant by the bourgeois are the people with higher income or people who run businesses and use labor. Furthermore the read can conclude that Marx was attacking the entire system of capitalism, because he nervy mentioned anything good about the capitalism. On the other hand proletarian was defined as the class of modern wage laborers who having no means of productions of their own are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live. They are the weak but the majority of the people who can change anything. Also they work as machines to have a living. as well they do not have any involvement in forming the government or the it is ran. In essence they are the weakest in the society for one reason because they are poor. But I think that not the case for the must parts.
