Class Race And Gender In American History
1,658 wordsThe United States governments support of slavery was based on an overpowering practicality. (Zinn 171) Before America even had a history it was busy creating a lower ethnic class for it to look down on. To work the fields and other low wage high risk jobs. To be there when a scapegoat was needed but to be as separate as could be maintained at all times. The history of black people in the United States begins with slavery. African Americans were seen not just as a lower class of people, but simpl...

Assassination Of Julius Caesar Ancient Rome
668 wordsThe Assassination of Julius Caesar blows away the so called truth proffered to us by the gentlemen historians who peddle a genre biased towards an upper-class ideological perspective. Parenti is an eloquent Caesarian historian who displays an astonishing amount of research finely organized and presented in this Pulitzer Prize nominated work; which will no doubt have the Ciceronians scrambling to put together a rebuttal. The Assassination of Julius Caesar points out how numerous popular fell vict...

Plebs And Slaves Ancient Rome Parenti
887 wordsCritics who fail to see through the very blindnesses Parenti challenges throughout this book are just proving his point. It is not, as "L. C" Robinson asserts above, that Parenti thinks everybody is wrong. Parenti's interest is not in some puerile (and typically American) debate over who is right and who is wrong, but rather a very fair and disinterested discussion about the consequences of crippling class stratification in ancient Rome and, as it turns out, throughout much of the history that f...

Assassination Of Julius Caesar Lower Classes
880 wordsNominated for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, there is a lot to dissuade the serious reader of Roman history in Michael Parenti's "The Assassination of Julius Caesar." A radical commentator on contemporary society and historical memory, Parenti applies a "Marxian-lite" analysis of the late Republic. In hearing a talk he once gave, one comment he made stands out; "One of the great pleasures of learning history is not the learning it but the unlearning of preconceived notions." To that end he has an axe ...

Nineteen Eighty Four Karl Marx
2,203 wordsEssay 3 Being a materialist, Karl Marx considered social struggle as a major mechanism of historical change and development. According to Marx social relations regarding the production and its main factors divide people into groups with a common situation and common economic interests. Thus, these groups can be called classes only potentially. They become classes through forming a social consciousness and establishing political movement, which represents the classes objectives and interests. Eac...

Years And Years Lot Of Time
2,693 wordsMichael Parenti has a lot to say about politics and the news media. He voices his opinions, findings, and facts in his book, Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media. After reading his book, I would have to say that Parenti is arguing a particular point of view. There is no way that he could be defending this subject matter because he tells us that he is totally against the way the media operates and the news that it handles. Parenti is obviously telling us the truth about how the media han...

People Lives Side Of The Story
1,349 wordsEssay # 1 The News Being objective has been an unrealistic ethic that defines the news media. Fallows ague's that journalism and the news has provided largely entertainment fluff and has virtually selected unthinking news communicated to the American people; and Parenti agrees and states that the Media is big business and therefore is not independent, objective, neutral, informative, balanced, and truthful. Their ideas may seem outlandish and farfetched, but it is the fact of life for the media ...
