-In class systems (not caste) social categories are more clearly and rigidly defined. True or false

Thanks 2thick...here's a couple. i just started so i i'll have a few more if you could help

-In class systems (not caste) social categories are more clearly and rigidly defined. True or false

False (because there are several factors that determine social categories [including monay, education, political clout, reputation etc.]

As a side note, more clearly defined than what?

-Class systems (not closed caste) assign social position based on both birth and individual acheivement. True or false?

True, both ascribed and earned positions are abundant.

False (because there are several factors that determine social categories [including monay, education, political clout, reputation etc.]

More clearly defined than caste systems...i think is what the professor meant.

sorry bro...i don't think you're right.

scapegoat theory dictates a person or category of people who typically have little power...whom people blame for their troubles. People blame other people who are disadvantaged for their conditions.

might be right on the marx thing because i had no fuckin clue what any of those mean.

Marx says 'A'

Scapegoat says 'C'

Authority says 'C' b/c usually poor and uneducated people gravitate to this model of authority [Although the more correct answer would be 'people with rigid personalities']

thanks bro...i really appreciate the help.

but in referenece to the last one
the definition of authoritian theory states that a person who has that personality..had an extreme form of socialization.

T.W. Adorno based it on

1.) seeing society as naturally competitive
2.) see society in a hierachy..those who are dominant look down upon those who are weak.
its deemed the archy bunker complex.

wouldn't that fit it under A. built into culture itself...? since society is already naturally competitive?

There are som many types of cultures where authoritarian types are not necessarily utilized (especially the first hunter and gatherer societies and the first clan-type societies).

If it were built into culture then there would be nothin besides Saddam Husseins around (and even in the time of the Greeks, this was not found to be the case when societies were homogeneous).

1.) seeing society as naturally competitive
2.) see society in a hierachy..

This shows that it is a personal view and not a global perspective.

Marx says 'A'

Hey! back to school.

Marx's doctrine is "C":

c.) "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

the other one ("A") is nonsense.

You also said something about early socities in another post. If your knowledge of early societal development is as lackluster as your understanding of religion or political theory, check out

"Guns Germs and Steel" and

"Wealth and Poverty of Nations".

The Addorno question is "B" - a trait found among certain individuals. Those are the individuals with who conform to societal norms and vaLues. The poor/diasadvantagde thing is a red herring.

2thick got 1 out of 3 right - hope the K you send him is red.

 

[Bullit]

Hell yeah Marx says C.
And I got the scapegoat right too.

Holy fucking christ I'm smart. YOU BETTA RECOGNIZE!!!

 

[calveless wonder]

sorry bullit..guess you were right. k for you too when i get back.

HOWEVER...i think 2thick is right because marx states that wealth is not based on just economy. wealth and oppurtunity are passed on via the family. people in the social elite, create ties and maintain them. he basically says its a reproduction of the caste system in every generation. I'm pretty sure thats what he means by "to each the same from, each the same"

maybe you guys didn't understand the context of it.

man i'm confused now

It depends on how your teacher taught Marx.

Look through your notes.

Some people think on the undergrad level and others think on the grduate level.

In practical terms, Marx would advocate that you got to the marketplace and drop off your products that you produced for all to take as they need, but in reality you would need to ration out good to avoid uneven distribution. So if a person has a 5 member family, they get 5 of everything and if they have a 10 member family then they get 10 of everything. That means in the end they all get the same.

If this is a high school class that skims over Marx then C might be the right answer but in reality A is the right answer.

 

[calveless wonder]

thanks for all the help guys.

i owe you a steak

 

[hellboy]

Hell yeah Marx says C.
