Personal Problems Political World
613 wordsI found Plutarch to be a very interesting philosopher. But on the other hand I find his readings very difficult to read and understand. I often get lost in these readings and cannot pin point what Plutarch is trying to explain. In Plutarch's stories about these Greek hero's he explains what they do and why he likes them. He tells of certain values he praises them for and what things he sees as bad. But he confuses me while doing this. These "characters" who were real at a time seem to have done ...

African American Children African Americans
1,184 words... s (Los Angeles Times) This is extremely tragic for Black children, to constantly see the group they identify with as lazy, poor, and criminal. The previous quote would be an example of intellectual oppression; Naim Akbar asserts this involves the abusive use of ideas, labels and concepts geared toward the mental degradation of a people (Karenga, 1993, p. 450). These images do nothing but damage the Black childs self-esteem and ambition to do anything productive. The same Black child who is h...

Communist Manifesto Poor People
713 wordsThe poor deserve to be poor because they are lazy; it is quite as simple as that. Of course, it is true that there are exceptions, but there is to every rule. However, in the case of the poor, as a group, they are all too often seen as groups deserving of sympathy. In fact, when a street peddler holds out his hand, some people feel too guilty to pass him by without giving him even a little bit of change. After all, he is so much worse off than they. The sociologists Karl Marx looked at life thro...

Racial Tensions Racial Differences
1,362 wordsThe myth of a "classless" American society coupled with social stratification impedes race relations in the U. S. far more than any racial differences. The never ending struggle of the "have-nots" to become one of the "haves" produces a frustration and feeling of oppression that acts as a catalyst for spawning racial tensions. Minorities see the majority of wealth in the hands of the white population and feel that the wealth is unevenly distributed. Whites hear of government programs for minorit...

Accordingly, poverty is seen as something concerning nonwhite urban single mother families, hotbeds of social pathology spawned by 1960 s libertinism, drug culture, and feminism. These pathologies are then socially...
