...Karl Marx Communist Manifesto response paper Communism is justified seemed to be the message of Karl Marx throughout his Communist Manifesto and he even provides his reasoning and examples to prove his point. Marx describes history as the constant struggle for power between the proletariats and the bourgeois, between “freeman and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf…oppressor and oppressed” in “a fight that each time ended in either a revolutionary re-constitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes” (Marx, 65). And that is where the goals of the proletariats and the communists matched up. Both groups wanted to consolidate the proletariats into a class and overthrow the bourgeois and allow the proletariats to gain political power. The communists wanted to further this revolution or overthrow of dominant power by taking control over bourgeois property because their property represented in a form the exploitation of the proletariats. (Marx, 78). This is true because the workers do not gain anything from working and the products that they produce ultimately represent something that had exploited them. Communism is further validated by Marx’s defense of Communism against the claims that communism does “ill” to society. Marx claims that “communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does it to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriation” (Marx, 80)...

...“...the bourgeoisie has at last, since the establishment of Modern industry and of the worldmarket, conquered for itself, in the modern representative State, exclusive political sway…” – Karl Marx. Karl Marx in the communist manifesto, praises the Bourgeois for establishing a worldmarket, which gave birth to immense development in commerce, navigation, communication and expanding the industry. However, he also argues, that as the bourgeois continue to broaden the 22 capital market, it pushes back every other class to a lesser decreed. As the bourgeois developed, so did their political power. The bourgeois exploits the proletariat as laborers, a mere commodity to the means of production to further their own interests in establishing themselves as the dominant power. The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, with them the whole relations of society 24. Therefore, as the bourgeois try to maximize their profits through the mechanics of competition and free trade, nations become interdependent on each other, and the proletariat is not only from one country or region, but an international set of people. The labourers, are seen as a means of production, and therefore to maximize profit (which is the key goal of capitalists), labours are are exploited to a degree of unfair working conditions, low wages and illtreatment as their availability or supply is more than its demand...

...Their mission was to free the oppressed from the powers of economy and religion. According to the Oxford English Dictionary Communism is “A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.” Communism was formed to show that the working and poor class, often called proletarians or “blue-collar” workers, was the foundation for any strong country, that without these lower members of society, a country would fall apart. Marx wanted to show the world this so he laid out a plan for Communism, with ten essential points. Karl Heinrich Marx was born on May 5, 1818, in Trier in western German, the son of a successful Jewish lawyer. Marx studied law in Bonn and Berlin, but was also introduced to the ideas of Hegel and Feuerbach. In 1841, he received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Jena. In 1843, after a short spell as editor of a liberal newspaper in Cologne, Marx and his wife Jenny moved to Paris, a hotbed of radical thought. There he became a revolutionary communist and befriended his lifelong collaborator, Friedrich Engels. Expelled from France, Marx spent two years in Brussels, where his partnership with Engels intensified. They co-authored the pamphlet 'The Communist Manifesto' which was published in 1848 and asserted that all human history had been based on class struggles, but that these would ultimately disappear...

...MGMT340 April 15, 2012 Problems and Exercises Appendix A 1. The use-case diagram shown in Figure A-1 captures the Student billing function but does not contain any function for accepting tuition payment from students. Revise the diagram to capture this functionality. Also, express some common behavior among two use cases in the revised diagram by using “include” relationships. Answer: This relationship model needs to build up in the following manner: 1. Student to the billing counter 2. Billing counter to the acceptation of registration 3. Registration to verification of subjects and courses 4. Validate whether the student has completed prescribed courses 5. Approval from the respective course coordinators 6. Final billing made on the student to make payment of his fees. In this entire process one has to understand what the needs of the student are and then we need to bill him as per the requirements of the course which he is bound to enroll. There should not be blind system of billing everybody without any purpose. Hence in this case the validation of subjects and needs has to be clarified at all instances. Appendix B 1. When should you use an Agile method, and when should you use an engineering-based method for developing a system? Support your answer Agile methods are adaptive in nature. Their nature is to welcome and adapt changes. And also the agile processes focus on people rather than process so in a case where a system...

...Analysis and Design July 16, 2012 Summer Term B 2012 Professor David A. Ostrowski Agile Methodology is an approach to project management that for the most part is used with software development. Agile Methodology is a very important part of software development. Throughout this paper I intend to discuss what the movement toward agility means for the future of systems analysis and design (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). In the year of 2001 many proponents met in Utah and came to discuss and agree on underlying principles (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). Through this discussion they came up with the “The Agile Manifesto” (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). There is very important information listed in the Agile Manifesto as you can see from the information I have provided, according to my textbook, below. “The Manifesto for Agile Software Development Seventeen anarchists agree: We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. • Working software over comprehensive documentation. • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation. • Responding to change over following a plan. That is, while we value the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. We follow the following principles: • Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. ...

...Klarice Davis Josh Huber English 1000 September 2014 The Hunger Games through the Eyes of Karl Marx I grew up in a small town. Everyone knew your name and the reputation you held with it. If you had a well-regarded name in the town you had it all. Any sport you wanted to be on, you were on. Any club you wanted to participate in you were in (and probably the president too). Everything was easier for those who were ranked highly in the cast system of Sullivan, Missouri. In high school I was on dance team. There were eighteen girls, tremendous drama, and so much false security. My dance coach always favored one girl specifically. Her name was Lindsay and she was the daughter of the doctor in town. She was a very nice girl, I will admit, but her dancing skills were not up to par. About one month into my third season, our new coach announced she thought it would be a good idea to have a captain. That night all of the girls gossiped about who they thought would be the captain. We all concluded it would be the best dancer on the team, Sheri. The next day we gathered around our coach waiting anxiously for her to announce our new captain but it was not what we expected. She announced it would be Lindsay. Filled with anger, everyone began to file out the door. We had to anticipate eight months of being criticized and critiqued by a girl who could not even dance well. The first year went fluently. At times it was hard to be criticized by Lindsay but over time that did not bother...

...1 It is commonly said that with the invention of the camera, Impressionism was born. With the relatively simple production of lasting mirror images, artists were not asked to paint portraits as often and many no longer felt the need; with a source of perfect replicas available, what was the point of trying to paint perfectly? Artists were not only free to explore different subjects, they were, by in large, forced to find something new, portrait work having slowed. Switching focus, artists flung themselves to the outdoors, to the beauty of nature, an altogether more challenging subject, one much more open to interpretation. “For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but its surroundings bring it to life – the air and the light, which vary continually”…(1891) Claude Monet, perhaps the most prominent Impressionist artist, comments on the then experimental nature of his art. This cause and effect of innovation begetting innovation is not a unique phenomenon. With the inception of new technologies and ideas, artists and engineers alike forge new paths so as not to be left in the future’s wake. Portraits from Gauguin or Picasso give new life to portrait painting, with interesting interpretations of the human face and form. Likewise, awe inspiring photography of landscapes and the abstract developed from experimental movements, of which Impressionism helped lead the vanguard. While photography drove artists to experiment by...

...Inspiration from: When I was young, I never go out door and play with my fellow kids. The reason was I was scared that I would get hurt while I play. Then, one day my brother took me to the nearby ground. I was watching the boys playing Cricket. All of sudden I heard a loud noise, it is because the whole ground was cheering for a boy who reached the strikers end to take the strike. And realized the reason for the cheer that boy had no legs. The very first ball he faced, he sent the ball to the boundary. I was shocked and just observed him closely. He can’t run as like others and comes to ground on his wheel chair but still manages to play cricket. I found from others that he met with an accident couples of years back and lost his both legs be. As a grown up person now, I could understand “How did he managed to play cricket without legs”. The change he understood, the change he adapted, the technique he developed, the change he made to himself…. It is true and evident that you can’t live every day in the same style. Change is Eternal. If the person in the above story had thought, it is going to hurt him if he tries to play cricket after the accident, then he will be just called as Handicap. But now, he accepted and fought the battle and won. His name is 'Aghoram'. It has truly inspired me in many ways; in fact I have started playing outdoor games. Being in IT industry for these many years, I have realised most of the IT industries were stick to the traditional...

...Replacing PeopleSoft Using the Agile Methodology Development January 8th, 2015 IT Project Manager Group F’s College of Technology Mid-West, USA 12345 College President Group F’s College of Technology Mid-West, USA 12345 Dear College President: Per the goals of the IT department our project: Replacing PeopleSoft using the agile methodology, is designed to replace the current software at our college. By doing this we will create a more time and cost efficient software program at our college that will be used throughout all our campuses. The new software will be maintained and updated internally which in turn will result in a reduction of expenses. We are hoping to start and complete this process within a year. Throughout the year our internal staff will gain the knowledge necessary to maintain and update the new software. They will also use the agile methodology to ensure that this process is done successfully. We also understand that this will cause complications at times with our means of communication between stakeholders and employees. Liaisons will be in place to communicate updates and other information to our stakeholders and employees in the case of complications. We are requesting your approval to start this project by the end of January 2015 once you have reviewed this project report. You will see in our report that requests for finances will be minimal as we own all of the hardware. We plan on using most of the existing hardware, if not all of it...

...INTRODUCTION The role of women in politics and public affairs is one of the current governance issues because of the perceived and acknowledged potential and contribution of women to governance processes. Participating effectively and meaningfully in order to have an impact is a process of empowerment that enhances self-worth of individuals and groups at the political level. There is no disputing the fact the number of women is seeing a steady growth from local government level in particular especially in the number of contestants and actual elected women. At the national level, particularly in the legislature, the picture has not seen much significant change since 1996. This reflects strongly in the composition of the membership of standing committees and selected committees of parliament where real debate on legislative issues takes place. Certainly, this affects the contribution of women to the policy making process. At the political party level , although all the parties selected for the study which are the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the People’s National Convention (PNC), the Convention People’s Party (CPP) except for the Great Consolidated People’s Party (GCPP), make claims in their manifestoes to their commitment to gender issues in general and women’s concerns in particular, it is not very evident even in their party leadership structure and in their own internal organization. Some party leaders corroborated this by stating...
