Karl Marx

Karl Marx was one of the most progressive writers of his era who produced some of the most controversial works written to this day. Marx posited many radical assertions as the fate of our capitalist society, and though history has contradicted many of his assertions his insight on capitalist exploration can still be applied to more contemporary relationships.

Meaning of life

I asked my dad what the meaning of life was today and he said,"Son that is a good question they have many meanings to life and some peoples are better than others". There are many meaning to life such as helping others,being important,seeking the good in life such as pleasure, and helping make the world in which we live be a better place. Then i thought about what makes humans so much better than a mosquito or a wasp. Yes, humans have the ability to express feeling and relate to one another but we destroy our own planet. We pollute the air we breath. We have wars that kill. Which makes me wonder if the human race is as smart as we think we are.

waiting for Godot

Some may say the movie was boring, but i found it interesting. I found it wasn't boring because the whole movie i was thinking about all kinds of different things. At one point in the play i thought they were in purgatory and they were waiting for Godot to come to see if they were going to go to heaven or hell. This movie was whatever you make it out to be because it really didn't have a story line and was about nothing.

the stages of lifes way

The Stages of lifes way

Their are three forms of life in which are aesthetic,ethical,and religious. moving from each requires a movemnt of will. Humans can not explain such leaps nor support the moves from each. It is difficult to be religious in a difficlut time when your innocent but everyone thinks your guilty. I had a family member who went to jail and was religious but his life didnt revolve around God. After he completed his sentence he came back a changed man and everything he said was revolved around God. This showed that when everyone in society frowns upon you how easy it is to be very religious in order to win approval of the community.

class secretary humans as producers

Humans’ beings master nature to meet needs, primarily material. Human beings are producers and everything we are involved in we do to better ourselves. We satisfy needs by approaching nature and producing commodities to be consumed. Everything we do is resolved around a need/a want. “Men must be in a position to live in order to be able to make history”. At the end of the day everyone wants to make history in some way shape or form. People feel a need to important and they will go up and beyond to do so.

Human beings compete against each other in order to make their place in life and hard work is the determining factor. “A commodity is an object outside of us, a thing that by its properties satisfies human wants of some sort or another. The nature of such wants, for instance, they spring from the stomach or from fancy, makes no difference”. Human work first for the basic needs such as shelter and food. Then Second materialistic things such as nice cars, jewelry, and clothes.

Human relationships can either be productive or alienated. In order to make the most out of life and meet the common needs having good relationships with people is

important. When people get along and like each other things get done a lot easier and a lot faster.Differences between socialism and capitalism: Socialism takes care of some everyday worries such as going to doctor which may be nice. In Capitalism human beings have to work for certain things and i like that because it makes me feel I have a responsibility and I don’t want everything dumped on my plate and given to me. I want to work hard for everything I have and have it because I earned it.

we can understand but not relate

We learned phenomena is based upon experience. Which means we learn through experience and we can understand because we have experienced it. I do believe people can understand phenomena that are experienced by people but cannot relate. I find that we can understand what experience the person is going through but we cant relate simple cause we havent been through the same thing they have.

Human Beings

In Class we talked about human being differ from our direct experience. Their was an example that someone who see's sounds as colors. This sounds hard to believe but i have seen a documentary on a blind kid who could see without eyes by clicking. He can see empty places and walk threw gaps of space but this is entirely self taught. This is rare but he made up in his mind that he wanted to live life to the full so their was nothing his friends cant do that he does such as playing video games and basketball. This guys Eye Doctor was very impressed by him and he was feautured in peoples magazine and on TV shows.

K.Kierkegaard Simple Choices

In our day to day occurrences we have to make simple choices each day. We can make good choices or bad choices. Either we can choose between good or evil. When someone is going through a rough time it can be easy for someone to choose to forget about being religious,because they have much hope. When someone is on cloud 9 they feel blessed and it is easier for them to be religious since everything is going smooth.Kierkegaard stated,"If having a lack of identity is good its going to contradict itself in the end". What i thought when i heard this was although you may make a wrong choice that handles your problem now it may not be the best choice for later
