Communism : Communism And Capitalism

Troy’s personality is very conservative. He is an angry man who has been a victim of racial violence and allowed his bitterness to become a barrier to new opportunities that opened at this time. As a child Troy wanted out of his abusive father’s relationship. His father barely looked after his 11 children and had always puts himself first before anyone else. Instead, young Troy escapes north to Pittsburg ending himself in jail due to theft, which is where he meets his ace

Cory is very aware that his father is envious of his athletic accomplishments. Troy also has no respect for Lyons and he does not support his dream to be a musician.

In Fences, August Wilson introduces an African American family whose life is based around a fence. In the dirt yard of the Maxson’s house, many relationships come to blossom and wither here. The main character, Troy Maxson, prevents anyone from intruding into his life by surrounding himself around a literal and metaphorical fence that affects his relationships with his wife, son, and mortality.

For an example, Troy tells Rose, “I'm talking, woman, let me talk. I'm trying to find a way to tell you ... I'm gonna be a daddy. I'm gonna be somebody's daddy” (Wilson p. 1067). This shocking news Rose is angry because she feels as if Troy has cheated out of eighteen years of her life (Wilson p. 1068). As husband and wife, they began to drift apart from one another. Rose goes months without talking to him after hearing the news. (Wilson p. 1071) Cory and Troy’s relationship is so damaged that Cory asks Troy, “How come you ain’t never liked me?” (Wilson p. 1052). Troy views their relationship as a responsibility rather than a loving relationship, he states “It's my job. It's my responsibility! You understand that? A man got to take care of his family” (Wilson p. 1052). This built anger inside of Cory later led to an altercation between him Troy, Cory states “I ain't got to say excuse me to you. You don't count around here no more” (Wilson p. 1077). Since Rose startes to depend on Troy less around the house, his authority begins to fade in the house, giving Cory the idea that Troy does not count around the house. Wilson uses the theme of love to show how Troy self-destructive characteristics damages his relationships with the people that care for

Fences written by August Wilson was focused on the life of Troy Maxson, an African American full of harshness towards the society because of the barriers he had to face in life back in the 1950’s. The title ‘Fences’ reflects the book’s story and overall symbol. The setting is used as a frame to the message and metaphorical meaning of the book. Troy struggles to define his rights and responsibilities as a husband, brother, worker, friend and father through the complex symbolism of the settings.

Three different types of economic systems used by governments are Communism, Capitalism, and Socialism. Each type of system is unique in different ways. Each has distinct aspects that make it what it is. In communism, the government runs everything and there are no social classes. The government in capitalism doesn’t interfere with any businesses and lets the citizens own and operate them. Socialism is basically a mixture of the two economic systems. The government runs certain businesses, but citizens run the rest. The three economic systems are different in the way they run things and regulate things.

Troy failed to establish a healthy relationship with his father resulting in a struggle to develop a bond with his own son bringing about a highly dysfunctional relationship and adding to the overall familial unhappiness. These characters consistently fail to reach common ground concerning Cory 's future leading to both verbal, as well as physical altercations. Troy’s own selfishness holds his son back from achieving his dreams as he fears that his son will achieve more than he ever had, and in turn abuses his parental power, holding unrealistic goals for his son, and driving a wedge between them. Troy stated, “I told that boy about that football stuff. The white man ain’t gonna let him get nowhere with that football. I told him when he first come to me with it. Now you come telling me he done went and got more tied up in it. He ought to go and get recruited in how to fix cars or something where he can make a living” (Wilson 6). Cory is unable to escape his father 's control and is forced to live his life the way his father intends. Cory is justifiably angered and takes a stand against his father by not attending his funeral to take back his father 's power over him. This specific incident shows just how deeply rooted the conflict between them was and the extent of the dysfunction in their relationship that creates a level of unhappiness for

If troy doesn’t solve things within himself and with his family, things can only get worse and Troy will lose everything. Moreover, he even showed envy towards Corey, because he was better educated, got good grades, worked a job and still found time to practice football. He certainly had more chances than Troy had growing up. Still, Troy was not proud of Cory, he leaves home just like his father did. The family could've tried harder to make things work, but this did not happen because of the dysfunction and Troy “dies suddenly after swinging a bat in the backyard,"he suddenly fell over”.

The play Fences by August Wilson centers around the character of Troy, a middle-aged African-American man. Troy struggles to keep his family together, mostly as the result of mistakes he has made as a husband and parent. These mistakes reflect certain personality traits that make up Troy’s complex character, including his obsession with providing financially, his inability to love his family, and his stubborn insistence on others following the paths he decides for them. These character traits can be explained by the social, racial, and economic climate of the time. Fences takes place in late 1950’s Pennsylvania during the beginning of the Civil Rights Era, and Troy’s character is shaped by the disappointments that have come along with racism and economic difficulty, along with not being up to date on the changes happening in the Civil Rights movement. Although Troy and his character traits are responsible for the tragic decisions he has made, it is possible that the social context of the time has shaped him into the person he is.

When Cory gets mad and accuses him of jealousy, Troy admits to his wife Rose that, “I got sense enough to not let my boy get hurt playing no sports.” Troy cannot see how times have changed and, refusing to consider the warnings of everyone around him, goes on to destroy his son’s dreams by refusing the scholarship; choosing the wrong things for

     Throughout history, there have been many systems developed in order to have a better society. Two of the most analyzed, and debated systems that have tired to change an economy for the best are communism, and capitalism. Communism, and capitalism have been compared on many levels, such as why they will or will not work, and which one works better. Throughout this essay I will concentrate on the differences, and similarities of how each operates, along with the benefits, and problems that each of them produces.

Fences by August Wilson shows the evolving African-American experience during the 1950’s to the 1960’s. The main character Troy Maxson makes his living as a sanitation worker to provide for his family. Throughout Fences the audience can see how Troy’s past played a strong role in his relation with his sons and wife. Troy would eventually meet his ultimate demise after an altercation with his second son, Cory Maxson. Through Troy’s actions and relationships with his family, Wilson shows that as the determination of individuals clash it can lead to the decline of family relationships.

Troy is seen as an unforgivable character because of his actions, but it is his actions that reveal that he is in a perpetual cycle of longing. Troy’s ongoing dissatisfaction with life, as a result of being a black everyman in the 1950s only adds to the anger and bitterness at life disappointments. The black everyman mirrors the pain and unrequited respect that Troy feels. Which is why it is important to note that in the

In so many ways Fences is such an ordinary story that its power comes from the ways in which ordinary people hear and view it. There is no doubt but that the metaphor of the fence prevails, working its way across work, family, friendship and the emotional pain of living a life literally dependent on garbage for survival. This is what Wilson wrote about in his Fences of the 1950s. In retrospect, however, it doesn't take a lot to put some of these pieces together yet again to create a difference story of its own kinds of fences, wooden, social, economic. But then or now, this story is still about the ordinary failing of a person who cannot figure out how to get out of the box that surrounds him and who thus finds himself pulling others inside his own fenced in troubles and pains. Being a black man wasn't easy then and it isn't easy today.

Marx understanding of society shift into modernism lead to develop a form of communism that would come to be known as Marxism, communism is the economic thought of Marxism. Marx understands that Modernism calls for society to embrace equality for the betterment of society. Part of the problem with Capitalism comes from its exploitation of the working class; Marx understands this problem to be a vein of Pre-modernism and not a pillar of Modernism. Marx calls for the working class to rise up over their bourgeoisie oppressors and seize the equality that rightfully belongs to them. “Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other – bourgeoisie and proletariat. (Communist pg. 9)” If society wants to embrace modernism, then society needs to shift its focus from fighting each other and one exploiting another to a classless society. Marx highly criticizes the bourgeoisie in The Communist Manifesto, and this stems from the problems they created for themselves and for the rest of society. In their attempt to gain more power, land, and resources, their material conditions, upon the prominence which their families had been formed, were dissipating due to the lack of foresight and selfish greed. If the Bourgeoisie continues to exploit the proletariat then society will head to conflict, as is expected of Pre-modernism, but if the Bourgeoisie cease its exploitation and relinquish its power for the group,
