Aspects of the alienation of labor in capitalist society

/in /by

Write an essay on one of the following topics. Choose whichever question you can answer best.
1. Is Socrates that emerges as a supporter of strict obedience to the laws in the Crito at odds with Socrates who is apparently determined to defy any potential court order forbidding further public philosophizing in the Apology? Whatever stance you take, be sure to justify your answer.

2. In Politics Book I, Aristotle makes a defense of slavery as a natural institution. According to Aristotle, for whom and under what circumstances is slavery appropriate? Critically discuss the success of Aristotle’s natural slavery argument.

3. In Hobbes’s Doctrine of the State of Nature, Merriam writes: ‘Although “naturally” man is a stranger to political life and looks askance at government, as one who would not be entangled on its net, yet he possesses irresistible impulses to enter the civil condition and inevitably passes over into it. Naturally, he is out of society, but inevitably he comes in.’ (Merriam 1906, 156)

Present and critically analyze the account of this “coming in” to society that Thomas Hobbes offers in Leviathan.

4. In the Second Treatise on Government, John Locke offers an account of how the just initial acquisition of private property is possible. He writes: ‘But I shall endeavor to shew, how men might come to have a property in several parts of that which God gave to mankind in common, and that without any express compact of all the commoners.’ (Chapter V, Section 25)

Present and critically assess Locke’s argument for private property.

5. According to Jean Jacques Rousseau, his version of the ‘social contract’ can be reduced to the following formation: ‘Each of us puts his person and all his power in common under the supreme direction of the general will, and, in our corporate capacity, we receive each member as an indivisible part of the whole.’ (Of the Social Contract, 1.6)

Present and critically discuss Rousseau’s conception of the general will.

6. In On Liberty, J. S. Mill offers ‘one simple principle’ designed to regulate the restrictions that governments and societies can place on the liberty of their citizens. He writes that ‘the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.’ (On Liberty, Chapter 1).

Present and critically examine Mill’s Harm Principle.

7. In Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844), Karl Marx examines four aspects of the alienation of labor in capitalist society. Present the four aspects of alienated labor and critically assess Marx’s solution to the problem

Glasser and Bridgman’s approach to urban homelessness problematic

/in /by

Why does Mary Madden find Glasser and Bridgman’s approach to urban homelessness problematic?

1. Because it exoticizes the urban poor, constructing them as reminiscent of the “primitive” peoples who were so long the favored subjects of anthropology

2. Because it dehistoricizes poverty, neglecting questions about how and why homelessness comes about and thereby making it seem natural and inevitable

3. Because it appeals to the scientific authority of ethnography without being reflexive or critical about the ethnographer’s own role in urban power structures

4. All of the above

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What do Lyon-Callo and Hyatt mean when they say “…it appears to make little sense to conduct ethnographic studies focused on specific spaces or places when the issues confronting them are part of a larger web of global interconnections?”
Answers:1.

That many of the most significant challenges faced by urban communities are caused by capital flight from cities and across national borders – a process that is difficult to theorize or even document with a narrow ethnographic focus on the communities left behind

2.

That an ethnographic focus on one place, such a city or an urban neighborhood, can cause anthropologists to lose sight of crutical (especially economic) connections across places

3.

That community-based ethnographic research is becoming more and more difficult as neoliberalism changes the very meaning of “community” in the first place

4.

All of the above

What kind of urban change drove the anthropology of cities beginning in the 1970s, according to Mullings?
Answers:1.

Deindustrialization

2.

Public retrenchment

3.

Displacement

4.

All of the above

 

Low organizes her article through a series of parallel subtitles such as the sacred city, the fortress city, the modernist city, and the informational city. What is she trying to convey about the city through this discursive strategy?
Answers:1.

That the city is so complex and variegated that scholars in anthropology and across the disciplines are compelled to study them through a number of different windows

2.

That a city can take on a different overall character at particular moments in time

3.

That cities cannot be reduced to one aspect of human existence but embody the full scope of the human experience from faith to politics to economics to technology

4.

All of the above

Where in the course have we encountered an analysis similar to Carvy’s concept of racial moral panic?
Answers:1.

In the Morgen and Maskovsky article, which notes that welfare restructuring was facilitated by the construction of (especially black, female) welfare recipients as immoral, deviant and dysfunctional

2.

In the Wacquant article, which argues that “moral retraining” formed part and parcel of workfare and prisonfare working in tandem to rescript urban economic failure as moral and personal failure

3.

In the Valayden article, which argues that concepts of “moral degradation” are crucial to the form of racism he calls feralization

4.

All of the above

 

What does “racial feralization” have to do with cities?
Answers:1.

It has become a way for western military strategists to justify a campaign of permanent “counterinsurgency” in the Global South by positing its cities as wild, contaminated, out-of-control, feral

2.

It describes the way in which all cities are becoming less civilized

3.

It is reminiscent of Lefebvre’s description of the decline of the traditional city

 

What does Diren Valayden mean by “racial feralization?”
Answers:1.

A form of racism founded in a fundamental fear of catastrophic regression to less human state

2.

A concept of race with centuries-old roots that has been deployed in new ways in the last few decades

3.

A way of problematizing heterogeneous urban populations through the concepts of both race and risk

4.

All of the above

LeFebvre felt that the crisis of the traditional city was linked to another major planetary crisis. What was it?

The crisis of urban crime

Perspectives of Eating Disorders in Men and Boys

/in /by

Peer Response The Journal of Men’s Studies article, " It’s a Touchy Subject": Service Providers’ Perspectives of Eating Disorders in Men and Boys" explores the perceptions and experiences of providers of eating disorder services towards men to understand the challenges and barriers experienced by Spoth professionals and patients in addressing the gender bias within this field (Foye, Mycock, et al, 2023).

This small study (n=21) was performed in two phases-first concerns were discussed by participants and from there a secondary analysis was performed on the data. The findings showed that there were three main areas contributing to the barriers in diagnosing and treating men’s eating disorders. First, is that masculinity dictates that men do not seek help. Secondly, the fact that eating disorders are identified as a " woman’s issue." a stereotype held by those suffering and, unfortunately, many service providers. Lastly, there is no place nor protocol for treating men’s eating disorders even if a client is fortunate enough to admit to having a problem, needing help, and finding a provider who acknowledges that men in fact can develop an eating disorder. From this article, I have learned that gender stereotypes can pervade the mental health field-the DSM-V finally removes amenorrhea as a criteria. While men’s eating disorders may present differently from women’s, they still share a commonality. Resources, education, and treatment must be developed for these people.

Consider the maquiladoras as an economic basis for social development.  Look at all sides of the maquiladora phenomenon, go through all the pros and cons, look at the multiple perspectives, and then come to a carefully reasoned overall assessment of them. Remember, it is important to demonstrate to me that you understand the concepts and the case material. Do not use Chapter 3 for the paper (you’ve already reflected on your main post), but rather discussed the rest of the chapters. The paper should be several paragraphs and in detail with citations or sources.
