Capitalism And Capitalization

Capitalism is a system where the sole goal is for private owners to gain profit. In the 1930s’ Dust Bowl, private owners, such as farm owners did not pay laborers enough money. In addition, minimum wage laws did not begin until 1938. Wages dropped so low because of the contradicting owner and laborer goals. Moreover, the stock market crash caused demand to drop and jobs to disappear. Overproduction also contributed to elimination of jobs. The wage gap between the wealthy and poverty further increased over time. Despite, the huge elimination of many jobs during the stock market crash, the changing seasons created some cotton and fruit picking jobs because certain plants are ripe for a certain period. However, laborers had to travel to other states or even countries to look for jobs only to face ostracization from the natives. In pursuit of capitalistic goals, the government promoted harmful DDT chemicals and nuclear weapons to keep the chemical and weapons industry alive.

Unlike the old centralized and totalizing war economies, the new war economies are globalized and decentralized. Since modern wars are fought on a much smaller scale than the World Wars, the participation in the new wars is low; however, the destruction of a war always cripples the country’s economy no matter the scale of the conflict and sets of a series of events that spread across the borders into the neighboring countries. The taxation rates rise and the production levels drop due to the physical damage and emotional depression leaving the business unable to compete in the global market. This in turn causes many businesses to become bankrupt, raises the unemployment rates, and makes the economy of the warring state extremely fragile and dependent on the help of the international community. Unable to obtain money through legally, civilians and soldiers turn to illegal means of acquiring funding. The military seeks other sources of payment often from the other nations and, in desperate times, through illegal means such as black market arms and drugs trade. The international crime rates rise and the black markets grow causing further instability of the global

The author initiates her first argument to be that in reality we are all consumers of war, thus connected to war. We are connected through our investment practices,

Although many people assume the motivations for war are determined by a territorial protection, a number of scholars have added other motivations for understanding why war occurs, among these historians one is a conspicuous example his name is Howard Zinn. Zinn has exposed that many countries go to war in order to bring economic prosperity to their region this need for gain in turn causes many of the upper class of that region to acquire fantastic levels of wealth, many of these powerful figures have denied these claims, Zinn,in reaction to these claims uses paradigm example, WW1, as a means for discrediting the upper class who incessantly deny profits during war.

During the course of this analytical paper, we will look at the impact of warfare on world societies and people's consciousness, during the period of the 1500s in world history, called the Early Modern Period; also, we will discuss the consequences of the Great War. Additionally, apart from studying the altering methods of warfare and their magnitude, we will look up to different motivations of statesmen and peoples who declare wars or engage in several types of violent actions towards certain societies. Throughout the paper, we will stretch any pertinent evidence at appropriate points of what war leaders, intellectuals and common citizens view war and violence, which they experience during their life. Some of the examples include the Arabs that vastly expanded the world of Islam, yet were traditionally predatory in nature, which benefited more from the taxation of the conquered than from their conversion. There are also examples like the Mongol Empire, which was too, predatory, but differently from the Arab

“to a mere money relation,” (Marx and Engels [1848] 2013:35]. Marx, saw the tear down of the old as the only way for the bourgeoisie to survive. Periodically, a crisis occurred where productive forces threatened their conditions and bourgeoisie would have to bring in new productive forces and destroy the old. Marx believed that these changes to technology and productive capacity were the main influence on how society and the economy were organized. The bourgeoisie had to push for the modern world to quickly and continually develop to protect capitalists’ monopolies. However, constant development caused continual disturbances of social conditions by breaking down stable aspects of human life. Capitalist used their power to push the world to advance so that they could prosper with no concerns to the possible effects on the economy, which would have been most detrimental to the proletariat. For Marx, this showed that capitalists’ self-interest pushed economic progress, which led to societal progress but also risked crisis. Capitalism not only affected society through the creation and separation of social classes but also in influencing societal progress and social relations.

The world war had drawn in all of the world’s greatest political and economic powers of the century as a result of several reasons, as suggested by historians. Historians have weighed in over the past century, providing examples of causes for ‘the Great War’, for example; previous relationships and tensions, a lack of international laws, corrupt governments, etc.

War has been designed to show a ghastly frame that sets out for propaganda, defeats, and victories. Involving multiple aspects, war exhibits a product of both human choice and human actions. “And a person's definition of war often expresses the person's broader political philosophy, such as limiting war to a conflict between nations or state. Alternative definitions of war can include conflict not just between nations but between schools of thought or ideologies.” (Moseley, Alexander.

Along with the modern view on war, both these authors provide a negative impression on the glory and nobility of war, exposing the wastefulness of it. Through the use of language and imagery, they provide a sense of pity towards these soldiers who risk their lives for their country. In this modern

In Chapter 6, Mohanty starts by discussing how power is controlled through capitalism. Therefore, capitalism uses power to produce a system of inequality throughout the Global North and Global South in both private and public spheres. She explains how patriarchal ideologies were introduced during the colonization of many countries and the Americas. Colonization has had a lasting impact and still leaves women at a position that is against men and viewed as less powerful then men in their community and inside their households. Consequently, this patriarch ideology from the Global North interjects the images and ideas of the Third World women as the oppressed and always the worker.

The Modern world is divided up by self-determining, different states; often defined by their military forces. Before the sixteen-seventieth century the idea of states wasn’t like it is now. The world was unconnected by rulers, and no major states of authority. Many believe the concept of the Military Revolution that refers to a radical change in military strategy that altered a change in the government. According to Jeremy Black, in Beyond the Military Revolution, suggest the reason for an advance in military warfare was due to the development of the independent state. He tells how in the independent state the leader shows gloire to provide, build and protect. War and expansion appeared necessary and successful throughout this era.

Under the concept of capital, schools’ role can be best understood as intermediaries where exchange across different forms of capital and creation of new capital take place. In other words, through school, cultural capital and social capital could be exchangeable, and specific capital could be created or adopted. Jamal’s intellectual and athletic talents and aspiration (embodied cultural capital) lead to a higher social status (new social capital for Jamal) through Mailor-Callow (a school). He is able to receive wide recognition due to the platform that Mailor-Callow has provided – essay competition and high school basketball championship series.

To close, in addition to granting the fundamental rights to citizens and facilitating change and progress, a constitutional democratic republic also allows for more economic innovation and motivation. As previously mentioned capitalism influences nations in a constructive manner that encourages hard work and individuality. Capitalism is the economic center of a constitutional democratic republic. Its progressive power and economic potential can be seen through China’s economic boost in the late ‘90s to the present day as they began to adopt a capitalist mindset (Coase). Capitalism also embodies the concern for an apathetic citizen population, specifically in the workforce. This issue is the driving concern for socialism in the United States

In Mead’s essay “War Is Not a Biological Necessity,” she starts to look forward to the future claiming that “we might turn to history of other social inventions which must once seemed as firmly entrenched as warfare,” (3). In this she insinuates that war is a social invention and that there are many alternative ones that can go against warfare. Her ideology conflicts against war because her proclaiming it to be a social invention shows that it being an invention can also mean that it can be ended or destroyed. Mead attacks the social system and gives an alternative exercising that if “we change our social system and outlaw classes, the struggle for power, and possession; and in the event of our success warfare would disappear, as a symptom vanishes when a disease is cured,” (1). She claims that the social system is the main culprit of the causation of war.

The value of money continues to decrease, but the need for this little yet powerful piece of paper continues to skyrocket. Many people believe money magically illuminates complications and solves problems. America has been a capitalist state for decades, so money may be considered fundamental to our survival as Americans. This may be the case for many, but I disagree. I believe capitalism is the base for social, political and economic inequality and the idea of capitalism deceives us into thinking we as Americans cannot function without money. Capitalism creates complications and conceive problems. In capitalism, many private owners control the means of production, causing the government not to regulate their businesses. Thus, allowing exploitation to occur. The U.S will continue to collapse as long as we are a capitalist society. This system forces us to be greedy and greed forces us to be selfish individuals. Once an individual is selfish they will continue to make decisions that have a negative impact on the lives of many.
