Marxist View of the Capitalistic Mode of Production and Exploitation

Asses the Marxist view that the main role of the family is to serve the interest of capitalism. Within sociology there are many different perspectives on the family. Each different perspective sees different things as the main role of the family. Marxists view the family in a very disparaging light. They believe that the main role of the family is to serve the interest of capitalism and bourgeoisie. Marxists also believe that the family cushions the main provider. Karl Marx's view on the capitalistic

Commodification of the Womb: A Marxist Analysis of Surrogate Motherhood In the context of classical Marxism, the moral permissibility of surrogate motherhood is forcefully negated. Marxism condemns the practice of surrogacy as an exemplification of commodity fetishism in capitalist society, viewing surrogacy arrangements as a commercialization of the female womb. The term, “commodification of the womb,” thus arises to describe the process by which services carried out by the female womb are sold

neoclassical economics approach to capital distribution. After a comprehensive analysis, this literature review presumes that both Neoclassical and Marxian approaches to China’s economic expansion give an ideal interpretation of the phenomenon. Although Marxist theory on economics provides

subsistence of the worker. In this way, the worker just becomes a servant of the nature: as a worker, and as a physical subject. So, the deprivation of workers is inherently built in the nature of their labor that always favors the owners of the means of production. According to Marx (2012, p. 149), “It is true that labor produces wonderful things for the rich-but for the worker it produces privation. It produces palaces-but for the worker, hovels. It produces beauty-but for the worker, deformity. It replaces

useful to analysing capitalism today? Capitalism is “a system of economic enterprise based on market exchange” (Giddens, 2009). Almost all industrial societies today are capitalistic in nature since their economic structures are based on free enterprise and market competition. However, capitalism first became the dominant mode of production over two centuries ago in Western society. Over this period, there have been some major theorists who have attempted to analyse capitalism and among these theorists

The primary focus of selling slaves for profit became an obstacle due to expanding slave populations that were needed to sustain profitability and crop production. This economic perspective defines the “hegemonic” struggle between the agrarian pre-capitalist South and the industrial capitalism of the North in the late antebellum era. Of course, the South relied heavily on cotton crops as a primary source

another, it became necessary for him to resist the misuse of arguments he considered on human nature. Essentially, Marx’s critique on Capitalism was based on two fundamental issues: Alienation and Exploitation of the production of labor. In a sense, alienation is associated with human nature, while exploitation is related to the economics of the social system. He rejected the traditional theory of theoretical-philosophical humanism. Marx argued that the conception of the individual or human nature is

quite fitting, and ought to provoke us into contemplation. Thus, the topic which I will consider here is: what are the key components that allow and perpetuate modern industrial animal exploitation? In order to deal with this topic, I will propose three projects using distinct, yet complementary, paradigms. Namely, Marxist, Structural Functionalist, and Hermeneutic paradigms, which I regard as capable of elucidating the suggested issue. Furthermore, I shall offer an analysis of each proposal, and finally

Many individuals played an important role in the production of this thesis, and I would like to take this opportunity to note my heartfelt appreciation. First, I am indebted in particular to my entire family; most importantly, Mom; every path I have taken has been to make you proud, and I hope to fulfill your dreams through my shoes. I would also like to thank my sister Michelina, Joel, Dad, Nanny, Ken & Jarret, Uncle Ian & Aunt Kari, my guardian angel Thomas, Gran & my late Grampy–without your

“The capitalist system presupposes the complete separation of the labourers from all property in the means by which they can realise their labour.” Involved here is “a process that transforms, on the one hand, the social means of subsistence and of production into capital, on the other, the immediate producers into wage labourers.” This “historical process...appears as primitive, because it forms the pre-historic stage of capital...” (Capital, Volume I, Part VIII, Progress Publishers, p 668).
