Marx & the Education Crisis in Chicago
Education is a key factor in empowering the proletariat in their fight against the bourgeois. The bourgeois is aware of this, and because of this, they will not supply the wealth or power necessary to fix this crisis, because it would make working class a little too powerful for the capitalist’s liking. This educational crisis will remain the way that it is in order to continue the oppressive hold the bourgeois has over the proletariat, and the only way to solve this crisis would be when the bourgeois feels that they need the proletariat’s help in the political arena, for it is then that they will provide the working class with the general education that they so desperately need.How White Supremacy Led Donald Trump to The White House
Among these white supremacist policies on the campaign trail, one stood out the most: radical immigration reform. The most extreme part of this policy was to build a wall along the southern border of the United States, in order to keep undocumented immigrants from traveling over the border into the United States. Donald Trump painted a picture of “Making America Great Again”, which essentially meant trying everything he could to make sure that the majority population of the United States remain white. This notion led him to the White House.Bourdieu & U.S. Society
Our society thrives on competition and conflict. We are constantly fighting over resources, and those who dominate their fields have the most control over those resources. They build their networks in order to maintain their control over these resources to ensure that anyone they feel shouldn’t have access to these resources won’t. This only leads to more competition and conflict, because the people who have the most capital rig the doxa to ensure that they continue to gain more and more capital. This then ensures that those in the lower classes with less capital will have a much harder time gaining more capital, if they even can at all.On W.E.B Du Bois
He recognized class struggle, gender relations, family relations, work and occupational force, crime, economics, even power. As an African-American man, he understood why he was being suppressed. But, to this day, we still study all of the above social forces and turn to empirical evidence to prove our theories. W.E.B Du Bois claimed it was his duty to put the science in sociology. I believe he achieved his goal, considering there is still science in sociology to this day. The fact that he was written out just proves his findings further.
