Forced To Work Members Of The Family
1,888 wordsIn the Book The Jungle by Upton Sinclair the extreme horrors of the meat packing industry in the 1900 s were exposed to all. He vividly displayed the hardships that new immigrants had faced upon their arrival to this great nation. Also I found that this book was a huge promoter of socialism, and it was believed that this method of economy would be the end of poverty in America. The book goes through the life a Lithuanian family that just moved to America in pursuit of wealth and prosperity. They...

Real Estate Agent Upton Sinclair
1,504 wordsA French philosopher once said that the greatest tyranny of democracy was when the minority ruled the majority. Upton Sinclair's The Jungle gives the reader a great example of exactly this. A man who earns his living honestly and through hard work will always be trapped in poverty, but a man who earns his living through lies and cheating will be wealthy. The Jungle portrays a Lithuanian family stuck in a Capitalistic country. It shows the ongoing struggle of a lower class that will never get far...

(For instance, Louis Farrakhan, who has threatened to lop off the heads of any undercover FBI agents in his organization in his speech Warning to the Government, is probably not rated too highly among FBI members. ) There have been numerous attempts, recently, to defame the late J. Edgar Hoover-much of which borders on sheer insanity, the rest of which is an outright, licentious rumor-by leftist hat...

Communist Manifesto Karl Marx
1,318 wordsRussia did not exist as a nation just seven years ago. It was formed from the ruins of a greater nation. Russia's current troubles are based on problems it found, or created, during the years it operated under socialism. This theory, which proposes equality and the means of achieving it, has been scorned by the Western world. One must wonder why such a grand conception has failed. Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto By far, the most important document in the development of socialism was The Co...

Makes The Reader Feel Upton Sinclair

The other narrator expounds upon certain events that occur in the novel. This narrator is like an aside in a play; it is just like Sinclair stepped into the story to deliver a message to the reader. This narrator is used when Sinclair feels that a traditional narrator is not enough. The narrator is used in muckraking passages to show things that Jurgis couldnt possi...

Reification And Heller Theory Of Needs In Marx
1,485 words1. A little over a decade after the "collapse of Communism", it might appear that Marxist theory has been relegated to little more than an historical or even archeological artefact with little relevance to or influence over an ever encroaching and expanding, global ising capitalism. Socialism "proper", as a state economic model and ideology seems to have been banished to the margins of the world scene. The disastrous results in terms of the dictatorships and totalitarianism that have ensued wher...

World Of 1984 Winston Smith
2,013 wordsThe fictional world of 1984 is best described as bleak. In the aftermath of the fall of capitalism and nuclear war, the world has been divided among three practically identical totalitarian nation-states. The novel takes place in London, which has become a part of Oceania, the nation state comprising the Americas and western Europe. A state of perpetual war and poverty is the rule in Oceania. However, this is merely a backdrop, far from the most terrifying aspect of life in 1984. Oceania is gove...

Food And Drug Meat Packing
712 wordsIt's a Jungle Out There Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle (1906) gives an in depth look at the lives of the immigrant workers here in America. In fact the look was so in depth that the Pure Food and Drug Act was created as a result. Many people tend to focus purely on the unsanitary conditions instead of the hardships faced by the workers. Actually I think that Sinclair doesn't want the focus on the meatpacking, but on overcoming obstacles, especially through Socialism. Sinclair was himself very...

Marx And Engels Utopian Socialists
838 wordsThere was agreement between the two different forms of Socialism in that they both held the same basic beliefs that the government should run all parts of society and that no one group was any more special than another. That is, one person should not be favored over another. Socialists though that everyone was equal, and that is where the communist name of comrade came from instead of using titles such as Mr. or Mrs. They both believed in the fact that the government should control all business ...

19 Th Century Marx And Engels
1,654 wordsPolitical Science Ideologies The contemporary political and social debate, at least from the time of the beginning of the 19 th century, arose out of two most important conceptual models of how society should be organized. They go under the name of liberalism and socialism. It is essential to state at once that they were not contrasting views; the latter (socialism) must be seen as the radicalization and extension to everybody of the premises included in the former (liberalism). Actually, the mo...

First World War Mussolini
1,164 wordsAfter the unification of Italy in 1870 the country was run by a series of liberal governments. Why then, in 1922 was a country still in the early stages of its political development, subject to such a radical political swing, and how was any one man able to instigate it? The period between 1870 and 1922 was an era that faced major problems- poverty, unemployment, a lack of national identity and perhaps most significantly of all, the First World War. The Liberal government were extremely ineffect...

Socialist Economy Social Status Socialism
590 wordsSocialism is in the greatest intrest of the public. It calls workers to unite for a better community. This gives them a better work ethic. An early socialist said, From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. This is a very accurate summary of the basis of socialism. Everyone gives what they can and gets what they need. In a socialist economy, life security is guaranteed. For example, if you are handicapped and cant make enough money to feed and clothe your family, the comm...

Andrew Carnegie Competitive Nature
1,609 wordsEven before the beginning of the twentieth century, the debate between socialists and capitalists has raged. In The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, he portrays capitalism as the cause of all evils in society. Sinclair shows the horrors of capitalism. In The Gospel of Wealth, by Andrew Carnegie, he portrays capitalism as a system of opportunity. However, both Carnegie and Sinclair had something to gain from their writings; both men had an agenda. Capitalism and socialism both have advantages and pitfa...
